Programmes and courses where students are entitled to financial aid from CSN
To be entitled to the Mecenat card you need to be a student at a programme or course that entitles its students to financial aid from CSN. You do not need to receive such aid yourself, it is the status of the course/programme that matters.
Doing our courses or tests do not entitle, unless you are reregistered for the course.
You can read more about which programmes are entitled on CSN's webb pages.
Some specific courses and programmes are exempt from the requirement of CSN entitlement, more on this below.
