The application must be submitted to the Registrar’s Office by March 8 of the current year: service.etudes@utbm.fr
The exemption may be granted for only one degree program.

The conditions are as follows:

– Be enrolled in a student-status training program,

The final decision is made by the director of UTBM after consulting with the director of academic programs and pedagogy and the equal opportunity coordinator.

According to its bylaws, the foundation’s mission—among other things—is to provide financial assistance to students for their projects. In practice, this involves awarding scholarships to certain students whose circumstances meet the specified criteria: study abroad semesters, entrepreneurship, and civic engagement projects.
Each year at the commencement ceremony, a Foundation Award, worth €3,000, is presented to a student or group of students with a project that demonstrates strong potential for innovation or benefits the widest possible audience.
