FAQ

INFIИITE’s mission is to support the success of talented young people and help build a new generation of leaders who better represent the diversity of our society.

We assist French students from modest backgrounds in accessing the world’s most prestigious schools and universities, and in launching their professional careers—through student loans and mentorship.

INFIИITE offers an interest-free loan with no guarantor, up to €50,000, to support you over 2 to 4 years of study. The maximum amount per year is €17,000.

This solidarity-based and perpetual model ensures that funds repaid by one student are reinvested to help the next—creating a chain of solidarity among beneficiaries.

Your mentors are professionals in high-level positions across various sectors, who volunteer their time to offer guidance and career support (e.g., internships, networking, etc.).

We collaborate with leading schools and universities in France and worldwide, as well as associations and high schools.

However, you do not need to attend one of our partner institutions to apply—you simply need to be admitted or enrolled in one of the top schools of your chosen country.

• Be a French citizen or hold recognized refugee/protection/residency status in France for at least 5 years (with a French tax record).

Financial needs are assessed based on:

• Parents’ (or your own) income
  
• Parents’ socio-professional category
  
• Number of household members
  
• Number of dependent children
  
• City of residence and high school attended
  
• Special circumstances (e.g., family hardship)
  

We also assess:

• Academic performance
  
• Career goals and ambition
  
• Commitment and open-mindedness
  
• Leadership (motivation, empathy, teamwork)

No. You can apply even if you are not a CROUS recipient, especially if you’re from a middle-class family facing financial difficulties. CROUS scholarship students may also apply.

Step 1: Fill out the pre-selection form carefully and completely.

Step 3: If shortlisted, participate in a 25-minute online interview before an independent jury made up of professionals from the corporate, educational, and nonprofit sectors.

Yes. Once accepted, you’ll receive a loan contract to sign and return before the funds are disbursed.

You’ll start repaying the loan for 9 years, once you finish your studies. During your studies, you don’t make any payments. If you continue studying or experience unemployment, repayment can be deferred.

Repayments are mandatory to fund future students, but we remain flexible in cases of hardship. You can also choose to repay early if you wish.
