In order to give a boost to its apprentice motoriststhe commune of Parmain (Val d’Oise) launches its first driving license scholarship.
License assistance
Obtaining a driver’s license is often the first step towards independence.
For many young candidates, the little pink card is also synonymous with a heavy, or even unattainable, budget. In fact, it costs €1,900 on average, in mainland France, for training including the code and around twenty hours of driving.
To find a job, young people will need to travel.
Designed by the City’s Municipal Social Action Center (Ccas), this system is aimed at young people aged 18 to 25. The Parminois municipality finances 50% of driving license training.
“This scholarship is a very good idea for our young people and their professional integration, because, to find a job, they will need to travel,” explains Loïc Taillanter, the mayor (Se) of Parmain. Every year, we implement actions for our seniors and we wanted to do the same thing for our young people. We may even pay a little more if there are additional driving hours. »
Four scholarships
In return for this assistance, the candidate undertakes to complete 35 hours of volunteer work in a municipal service before obtaining their license.
“This could be help for the elderly, green spaces or small painting jobs,” the councilor specifies. It is the young person who will propose the activity that he undertakes to carry out to help the community. »
For this first edition, €4,000 was included in the 2024 budget.
Four scholarships will be awarded this year. Several conditions must be met to obtain this aid: be aged 18 to 25, live in Parmain, have low family quotients, obtain your license in one of the driving schools in the municipality.
Before June 1
The application file can be downloaded from the City’s website. It must be sent by e-mail to the Ccas before Saturday 1er June 2024.
The Ccas will examine the applications and four of them will be chosen to benefit from this grant.
