Living at BEM
Financial help
There are various means available to help you finance all or part of your course.
How to finance your course ?
Bank loan
Banks that are partners of BEM offer various payment facilities. At the beginning of the school year the banks all have their own stand in the School to advise students who would like to apply for a loan. Repayments will only be made at the end of the course when the student is in employment (period of partial or total exemption of up to 5 years). In September 2007, the preferential interest rate was 2.40%.
Aid
Fondation de France
Aid provided by the “Fondation de France” is based on social criteria. The School selects the applications of candidates looking for funding to help them finance their studies. These are then presented to the Fondation de France who may offer support to students experiencing financial difficulties.
Jobs
Associations
Several student associations can offer paid work and short-term projects: sales promotion, market or image research, financial analysis for companies ... Contact these associations: Exécution, AMS (Junior Enterprise de BEM).
