The video of Maëlle B. (who did not wish to give her name), a 20 -year -old student at Sciences Po, was seen 7 million times on the Tik Tok social network. Monday, October 31, the young girl, in a tight plan, reported the precariousness that has assaulted her since she saw the level of her scholarship, paid by the Regional Center for University and School Works (Crous) from Paris. “How many hours will I have to work in addition to my studies to be able to just pay my life?” She said sobs in the voice.
On the grounds that his parents moved to Mayotte, where wages are increased, given the cost of everyday living in the French overseas departments, the Crous has downgraded the student from the level 4 at the 0 bis level, Or an aid whose amount has gone from 396 euros to 100 euros between the start of his studies and today.
The opening of an online kitty by Maëlle, encouraged by Internet users, allowed her to collect, in a few hours, more than 14,000 euros, until she decided to close the operation. “You have just changed my life,” she concluded in a second video, where she promises to donate a share of manna to student support associations. 2> “I have become a door -Parcare student ”
Do you have to make the buzz to be able to pay for your studies when you come from a modest background? Behind this caricatured situation, this is the question posed by the student, who follows a double diploma issued by Sciences Po in partnership with the Free University of Berlin, where the first two years take place on the Sciences Po campus, in Nancy, and the following two in the German capital, where Maëlle now lies, with a rent of 400 euros.
“I have become spokesperson for precarious students, I want to take on the role, she comments with the world. Because as long as students do not speak, nobody does anything,” continues the young woman, By recalling the case of Anas, a young man who had gone so far as to mix with fire in front of the Crous de Lyon, in November 2019.
The case is emblematic of rigidity characterizing the scholarship allocation system, which is exclusively based on parents’ resources, without taking into account the actual “remains to be lived”. Maëlle’s father is unemployed, and her mother, a public agent in Mayotte, perceives an increase of 45 % of her treatment as well as a rent aid linked to “dear life” in the French overseas departments. “These are direct consumption aids for my parents, they absolutely do not concern me and do not increase their ability to help me financially, underlines the student. If my mother was still working in mainland France, she would receive 1,700 euros Salary and I will come back to step 3 or 4 for the Crous. “
