What is it?
The Culture Pass is a service and financial aid from the State which allows young people aged 17 to 18 to discover culture.
Each young person receives money to:
- go to the cinema, to the museum,
- buy books, subscribe to a magazine,
- do internships or workshops,
- download music or movies...
There are also free activities to book directly.
It is not mandatory to have French nationality, nor to be enrolled in an educational establishment (high school, training center, etc.).
You can apply for the Culture Pass up until the day before your 19th birthday.
The money offered on the Culture Pass increases according to age:
- €50 per year for 17-year-olds
- €150 per year for 18-year-olds.
An 18-year- old can receive an additional €50 if:
- is a beneficiary of the disabled child education allowance (AEEH)
- is a beneficiary of the allowance for disabled adults (AAH) .
