Résumé Omnilex

A student requested scholarship aid for a university continuing-education program. The court held that the volume-hour requirements of Art. 4 LEE and Art. 4 RLEE do not apply to continuing education assimilated to professional development. However, entitlement to financial aid still depended on meeting the condition of economic independence. As that condition was not fulfilled, the request was rejected.

Regeste Omnilex

LEE art. 10 let. g; scholarship aid for continuing education assimilated to professional development; the volume-hour requirements of Art. 4 LEE and Art. 4 RLEE do not apply to such training. Nevertheless, entitlement to a financial act remains subject to the statutory cumulative conditions, in particular the applicant’s economic independence; if this prerequisite is not met, aid may be refused despite the inapplicability of the volume-hour criterion.

Résumé

Les exigences de "volume-horaire" (art. 4 LEE; 4 al. 1, 2 et 5 litt. a RLEE) ne sont pas posées s'agissant d'une formation continue, assimilable au perfectionnement professionnel. Il faut néanmoins, pour obtenir un acte financier, satisfaire notamment à la condition de l'indépendance économique. Cas non réalisé en l'espèce.
