593 or 699 EUR, depending on type and surface area

Room with its own kitchen

Between 670 and 870 EUR

HEC says the rent includes utilities, Wi‑Fi, heating and parking.

HEC scholarships

HEC's scholarship page covers its master's programs as a group. It does not name the MSc X‑HEC Entrepreneurs. Two awards are labelled as open to all programs:

HEC Foundation Excellence Scholarship

Up to 15,000 EUR. Listed for all programs.

Future Leaders of Africa Scholarship

Up to 15,000 EUR. Listed for all master's programs and the MBA.

Every HEC scholarship is a reduction of tuition fees, not cash. Merit decisions look at the academic record, the application, the interview and any GMAT, GRE or TAGE MAGE score, and results are emailed within a week of the admission results. The page lists other merit and need‑based awards with their own conditions.

Because the page never names this program, confirm with info-masters@hec.fr that an award applies before you count on it.

Need‑based scholarship deadlines

Need‑based scholarships use a separate form, which you can only start after submitting your master's application. The form closes at noon on these dates:

Round 2

21 December 2026

Round 3

16 March 2027

Round 4

18 May 2027

The page also gives a Round 1 deadline of 26 October 2026, which this program has no use for since it has no Round 1. The page does not label these as 2027‑intake dates, but they match this program's shortlist dates.

The program's own social scholarships

The program's French FAQ mentions scholarships on social criteria for students who held a CROUS grant, or an equivalent, in the year before joining the MSc. The amount is not stated.

Loans and partner banks

HEC's external funding page lists French partner banks: BNP Paribas, Caisse d'Epargne, Société Générale, HSBC, LCL and BRED. Most of them require a guarantor based in France or the EU. Prodigy Finance appears on the same page, but the MSc X‑HEC Entrepreneurs is not among the programs it lists.

HEC publishes no current loan rates for this program, so this page quotes none. Ask the banks directly for their terms.

The same page lists external scholarships, such as France Excellence Europa for EU nationals aged 18 to 26 and Entente Cordiale for UK nationals, plus the Campus Bourses search engine.

What HEC does not publish

These are the gaps. For each one, the answer has to come from info-masters@hec.fr, not from this guide:

• Whether travel and stays for the Phase 2 modules abroad (UC Berkeley, the National University of Singapore, the London trip of the Startup Launchpad) are included in tuition, and what they cost if not.
• Whether the scholarships marked for all programs include the MSc X‑HEC Entrepreneurs.
• Current loan rates.
• How long you have to confirm your place and pay the deposit.
