Nicolas Sarkozy waives prohibit parents of students a combination of half-share tax benefit to which they maintain their dependent children, with the provision of individual housing allowance (PLA). 80% of the 650,000 students who receive the PLA were potentially affected by the deletion of this niche tax for an amount ranging from 40 € to 150 € per month per household as calculated by the UNEF student organization.

Scholarships paid over nine months and a half
