    Financial Aid

    Financial aid to provide the best conditions for studying

    As a public “Grande Ecole” engineering school, Telecom SudParis is committed to social diversity. Each year, over one-third of eligible general engineering students receive scholarships to fund their studies:

    • Needs-based scholarships
    • Institut Mines-Telecom Student Social Fund
    • Loans
    • One-off assistance from the alumni network

    Needs-based scholarships

    Scholarship applications are processed by the CROUS.

    Complete your Student Social File application (DSE) on the website www.messervices.etudiant.gouv.fr

    You will receive a conditional confirmation that you must provide when enrolling.

    Once your administrative enrollment is finalized, your monthly payments will be set up by the CROUS.

    The September payment will be sent at the end of August for students whose DSE and administrative enrollment is finalized before 31 August.

    If your administrative application is incomplete, your scholarship payments will be blocked.

    ⇒ To find out if you are eligible for a needs-based scholarship, go to the CROUS scholarship simulator.

    Institut Mines-Telecom Student Social Fund

    The Institut Mines-Telecom Student Social Fund provides one-off assistance for students in situations of financial difficulty that could negatively impact their studies.

    It is reserved for students enrolled in initial training at an IMT school, who have paid their tuition fees or been exonerated.

    The purpose of this aid is to respond to difficult situations that were not able to be taken into account by the main financial assistance programs for students (needs-based scholarships from Institut Mines-Telecom).

    This assistance is limited to once per academic year. Applications are prepared with the Institut Mines-Telecom social worker.

     

    Needs-based scholarships from Fondation Mines-Telecom

    These scholarships aim to help high-performing students with a lack of resources, to support social diversity and inclusion in the Grandes Ecoles. Each year, the School Dinner raises funds that are used for around twenty scholarships for students chosen based on merit and needs-based criteria.

     

    Loans

    Students with cashflow difficulties can request a student advance or loan, under specific conditions, from our partner Société Générale. A specific contact person is available on campus every Thursday.

    There are also attractive loan options for scholarship students (LOCAPASS).

     

    One-off assistance from the alumni network

    The alumni association T&MA can also provide one-off help in the form of loans for students in financial difficulty, particularly for international mobility experiences.

     

    Eiffel Scholarship Program

    The Eiffel program is a scholarship program run by the French Foreign Ministry in order to help French higher education institutions to attract the top international students to Master’s degrees and PhD programs.

    Telecom SudParis accepts, supports and submits applications to Campus France.

    The call for Eiffel applications 2024 (academic year 2024/2025) will open in October 2023.

    Scholarships for international outgoing mobilities

    To help our students make their international mobility projects (exchange semester, dual degree, internship) come to fruition, Telecom SudParis provides a variety of scholarship options such as Erasmus+, Ile-de-France Mobility Scholarships, IMT scholarships, etc.

    Call for applications are issued each year.

  • FarmIA, digital engineers for connected permaculture

    FarmIA, digital engineers for connected permaculture

    With their project for connected and responsible farming supported by Deepnet and JustAI, these students from Télécom SudParis might just change agricultural production as we know it. Their goal is to maximize yields while eliminating as much waste as possible. 

     

     

    FarmIA: AI and robotics supporting connected permaculture

    FarmIA is an organization founded by ten first-year engineering students from Télécom SudParis: Ariane Lang, Mohamed Chamrouk, Louise Oligiati, Gibril Gunder, Quentin Puzenat, Rémi Boileau, Lucas Delsol, Émilien Vannier, Makarije Spasic and Antonin Desmerges.

    Their project was carried out as part of the Gate® educational program (Management and Teamwork Training), which trains first-year students in working as a team.

    FarmIA uses a robot that is directly connected with the farmer. The organization combines two types of technology: FarmBot–a robot adapted for agriculture–and artificial intelligence the students have developed. The robot is programmed to analyze the plants and identify their needs in terms of care and nutrients.

    The primary goal is ecological. In the long-term, shortages resulting from a lack of fertile land are likely to skyrocket. We must therefore change our agricultural habits to prevent putting future generations at risk.

     

    A project recognized by Fondation Sopra Steria-Institut de France

    The theme of the 17th edition of the Entrepreneurship for Tomorrow Award, organized by Sopra-Steria-Institut de France and sponsored by explorer and tech investor Luc Hardy, was “Responsible digital technology for the planet”. This edition called on young people to take action to promote responsible digital technology.

    On October 6, ten of our students impressed the judging panel, earning an award in the “Student” category. FarmIA won this Entrepreneurship for Tomorrow Award because their idea tackles a 21st-century challenge, that of taking action for the environment while still remaining economically competitive. For nearly one year, these students were able to test their innovative project on the Télécom SudParis campus using a 2 by 6 meter box.

     

    Human impacts kept at a minimum

    Permaculture optimizes agricultural yield to enable the small-scale construction of sustainable housing that is in harmony with nature. In this situation, human intervention is limited to the use of water, space and energy. The idea is to integrate biodiversity, which has proven to greatly reduce soil pollution compared to intensive monoculture farming.

    Our ten engineering students have highlighted the role of crop rotation. By keeping the resources required to grow plants at a minimum, water and energy costs can be reduced.

    FarmIA therefore enables improved yield while minimizing resources. Both economical and environmentally-friendly, connected farming may well be the future of agriculture. However, while its effectiveness in vegetable gardens has been proven, there is still work to be done regarding its use in larger farms.
