Student support
Need help? You've come to the right place.
Solidarity Fund and Environmental Fund
In 2001, we set up a solidarity fund to provide financial assistance to scholarship and non-scholarship students in real financial difficulty, whether or not they are in receipt of a scholarship.
The purpose of this fund is to provide assistance to students in real financial difficulty, who are not receiving a CROUS grant, merit-based grant, Auvergne Rhône Alpes region grant, or a grant from a department or town.
Scholarship holders in great difficulty can also make an exceptional request, as assistance from the solidarity fund can be combined with other scholarships.
A special committee made up of elected members of the Board of Directors, directors of studies, the administrative manager of the solidarity fund and a CROUS social worker is responsible for identifying beneficiaries and determining the amount of aid, based on the traditional criteria used by social services (tax income, distance, number of children in school, etc.).
As part of its decarbonization drive, Sciences Po Grenoble - UGA is setting up a
environmental fund to support students in their choice
of low-carbon mobility. This aid focuses on the modal shift from air to
rail, and takes into account the difference in ticket price between these two modes of
transport, generally to the disadvantage of the train.
The amount of assistance depends on the distance traveled. The amounts have been calculated in
, taking into account the average difference between the price of a plane ticket and a train ticket, as well as
the distance traveled.

Throughout the health crisis, health centers were mobilized to welcome students, particularly those who were confined to university halls of residence. At the university health centers, students can benefit from free reception and nursing care, as well as medical consultations with general practitioners or specialists. In September 2020, a Covid 19 screening center relocated from the Grenoble Alpes University Hospital (CHUGA), opened at the heart of the Saint-Martin-d'Hères campus for university students and staff. It was open until the end of January. Since then, the partnership between the CHUGA and the UGA has been maintained: a schedule has been set aside for UGA students and staff to obtain a screening appointment at the CHUGA.
Between exams, the health situation and its impact on your student and private life, you may be experiencing personal difficulties and feeling stressed or anxious. Don't let the situation get out of hand: contact social workers, psychologists or helplines. Feel free to consult the directory of care and listening facilities available in the conurbation.
