The Lille campus launched scholarships for students entering the 6th grade, funded by the Jeannine Manuel Foundation, to foster greater social diversity. These income‑based scholarships cover registration fees and may cover part or all of the tuition, with the aim of providing access to bilingual education for disadvantaged students. The program prepares recipients for the French Baccalaureate with International Option (OIB). Admissions for this route involve a regular process including review of school records, tests, attendance at a school presentation and visit, and a meeting with one of the school directors; parental commitment is essential. Applications can be submitted online via the school's admissions portal.

There is a waiting list. Waiting list applicants are those whom the school would really like to admit, but cannot due to a lack of space. Waiting list placements are not automatic; the Admissions Committee informs families by email. There is no fixed order on the waiting list; when a space becomes available, the admissions team reviews the entire waiting list. Among equally qualified applicants, places are offered based on criteria such as current/former students of sister schools and their siblings, children of alumni and staff, extra-curricular interests, and other factors; the school also reserves space for international applicants when possible. Families on the waiting list must reapply the following year if they remain interested.
