Financial Support and Assistance
A dedicated team specializing in scholarships, banking partnerships, and housing solutions supports students daily in their administrative procedures and helps them find tailored solutions to their needs.
SKEMA scholarships do not serve as an initial financing mechanism; they function as a safety net reserved for exceptional circumstances. Their purpose is to uphold fairness and long‑term sustainability while providing targeted support to students facing unforeseen financial difficulties that may jeopardize the continuity of their studies.
Internal SKEMA financial aid is therefore strictly limited to situations of emergency or significant unforeseen hardship. Admission to our programs must be supported by a robust, sustainable, and carefully anticipated financial plan covering the entirety of the academic journey, including international mobility requirements and any gap‑year obligations.
Since tuition fees are communicated at the time of admission, each student is expected to meet these obligations in accordance with the financial plan established prior to enrollment. Registration should not occur in a context of financial distress without prior steps taken to secure appropriate funding.
A 10% reduction is applied to the tuition fees of the second enrolled child, and a 15% reduction from the third child onward, provided that the children concerned are enrolled simultaneously during the academic year in question.
A SKEMA scholarship may be awarded only once during a student’s academic journey and cannot be combined with any other internal scholarship or discount. It is reserved exclusively for students who pay their tuition fees directly to SKEMA and is conditional upon continuous enrollment through to graduation. The scholarship is applied as a deduction from the remaining tuition fees due or, where applicable, refunded if the fees have already been paid.
