Master mobility aid
Aide à la mobilité en master ·Administered by Cnous et réseau des Crous
Because the master you want is often not in the region where you finished your licence, this aid softens the cost of moving: a single payment of €1,000 for boursiers who enrol in M1 in a different région académique the year after obtaining their licence. Since 2025/26 it is granted automatically — no application form — once your supporting documents reach the Crous of your new region. It stacks with the bourse, the merit aid and the one-off specific aid.
Who qualifies
- Diplôme national de licence obtained the previous academic year (a licence professionnelle does not qualify)
- First-ever enrollment in the 1st year of a master's (M1)
- The M1 is in a different région académique from the one where you obtained the licence
- Boursier sur critères sociaux or beneficiary of the allocation annuelle (ASAA)
How to apply
Nothing to request since 2025/26: send your licence certificate and M1 enrollment certificate to the Crous of your host region at the start of the year — payment follows the month after your file is complete.
Deadlines: Send supporting documents to the host Crous at the start of the M1 year
