Solidarity pricing
Solidarity pricing allows you to benefit from a rate tailored to your resources, depending on your situation.

You may be eligible for solidarity pricing if:
  • You are a student: a scholarship recipient (receiving a need-based scholarship from the CROUS) or a recipient of the ASA (Annual Specific Allowance).
  • You are a CAF beneficiary: the amount indicated on your "family quotient" certificate will determine the solidarity pricing formula to which you are entitled.
    Please note: if you are under 25, you will also need to present a French tax notice in addition to your "family quotient" certificate. In this case, you will only be eligible for solidarity-based pricing from your second year of residence in France, once you have obtained a tax notice.
  • You are a beneficiary of the Complémentaire Santé Solidaire(Solidarity Health Insurance) or theAME(State Medical Aid).
  • You are in the process of applying for asylum.
To find out which documents to provide, and for more information on situations that qualify for solidarity-based pricing, you can visit the M réso website before going to mobility agency.
