Understanding the process

Social advancement grants are aimed at adults under 50 who want to make progress in their profession, return to study in their area of speciality or to retrain for a new profession.

This type of grant is regulated by Ministerial Decree no. 2022-420 of 1 August 2022 approving the regulations governing the allocation of social advancement grant and concerns the same categories of beneficiaries.

Candidates who are civil servants or Government officials must also apply for financial help from the Human Resources and Training Department. They will only be eligible for a social advancement grant if the said Department gives an unfavourable reply.

The request for a social advancement grant should be addressed to the Department of Education, Youth and Sport before the start of the training course for which this assistance is requested.

Applications are processed in date order of registration, provided that the documents provided can be evaluated.

Initial applications may be addressed before they are complete.

The missing documents must be provided before 1 March. After this date, the applications will be cancelled, except for applicants who are Monegasque nationals or are married to a Monegasque national, for whom a 25% penalty will be applied to the lump-sum grant.

Any application that is not complete by 31 March will be cancelled. No payment will be made.
