ECAM LaSalle Grant Programme

A project that embodies our core values

Since 1900, ECAM LaSalle’s Lyon campus has been training generations of creative, socially responsible engineers who put their ideas and expertise to work for a sustainable future.

In keeping with the Lasallian tradition, ECAM LaSalle places young people at the heart of its educational project, promoting openness, cohesion and solidarity. Because students are all different in terms of their talents, desires, learning styles and ambitions, the school listens to each of them, to help them get to know themselves better and support them in building their project. Priority is given to young people experiencing economic, academic, cultural, emotional or social challenges. To support them, the ECAM LaSalle Foundation has set up a grants program, ECAM pour Tous (‘ECAM for All’), funded by the generosity of donors. Recipients of these grants sign a charter of commitment to the Foundation.

Grants tailored to personal circumstances

Based on social and academic criteria, ECAM pour Tous offers 3 categories of grants:

Reduced tuition fees for low-income families

This fee reduction applies only to programs benefiting from state grants. It is automatic (with proof of CROUS grant level):

  • Level 3: 30% tuition fee reduction
  • Level 4: 40% tuition fee reduction
  • Level 5: 50% tuition fee reduction
  • Level 6: 60% tuition fee reduction
  • Level 7: 70% tuition fee reduction

Coup de pouce Solidarité (‘Solidarity Grant’)

This programme is designed to support students at critical times. Support may take the form of a tuition fee reduction, temporary accommodation or a student loan at a preferential rate. Depending on the situation, it can also be granted in exchange for work carried out on behalf of the school.

Coup de pouce Initiatives (‘Initiatives Grant’)

This grant is a financial amount paid to a deserving student to carry out a project related to their studies that they would not be able to carry out without this support. Example projects include internships abroad, summer school abroad, etc.

Practical information

The Foundation’s grant programs are managed by the Student Life and Educational Mission Office. Every year, 2 committees meet to award the “Coup de Pouce” grants, one in November and one in March. Students wishing to benefit from these grants must complete an application form following the call for applications.
