Academic Help
The meal at 1 € for all students
Publié le 09 mars 2026 - Public Service / Directorate of Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
The 2026 Finance Act provides for a €1 meal for all students and in all university restaurants from May 2026.
All students will be able to benefit from the meal at 1 € and this, in all the university restaurants of France, from May.
Currently, in university restaurants run by the Crous (Regional Centers for Academic and School Works), meals are €1 for scholarship or non-scholarship students in precarious situations. Other students benefit from a social tariff of €3.30 per meal at these university restaurants.
The generalization of the €1 meal is part of the 2026 budget law.
Calendar for the setting up of the meal at 1 € for all students
The gradual implementation of the measure is due to start in May, a period of reduced attendance that will allow the device to be tested so that it is fully operational by the start of September 2026.
The modalities of access to meals at 1 € for all students will be specified soon by the Crous.
