DSE (student social record): how to apply for a scholarship and/or housing?

Verified 03 March 2026 - Public Service / Directorate of Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

If you are a student (or future student) and you want to apply for a scholarship on social criteria and/or housing in a university residence, you must compile your student social record (DSE). We explain how to do it.

You must create your EHR on the internet to make a scholarship application and/or of housing.

For the 2026-2027 academic year, you must apply between 1er March and May 31, 2026.

To do this, you need to connect to the following online service:

My Student Services: Building your Student Social Record (SDS)

You have an account (email address and password) if you have already made an EHR or if you are registered on Parcoursup.

If you don't have an account, you will need to create one with your INE (national student identification) number. This number can be found on your student card or on the baccalaureate registration confirmation form.

FYI  

In case of significant and lasting change your situation (marriage, divorce) or that of your family (divorce, death, unemployment, retirement, illness), your file can be studied even outside these deadlines. Then contact the EHR department of the academy you depend on.
