Post-Platâl Psychological Support

Two psychologists are on standby duty at AX for fourth-year students.

Former École Polytechnique students and graduates supported by the Solidarity Fund may also benefit from psychological counselling.


Administrative and welfare support

If you are experiencing administrative, financial or personal difficulties, the AX welfare officer can help you assess your problem and help you find possible solutions.

Here are a few examples of situations the welfare officer can help you with:

  • Preparing your application for a survivor’s pension;
  • Retirement;
  • Preparing applications for welfare benefits (APL, CMU, CMU-C, RSA, etc.);
  • Referrals to government welfare bodies.

This is only a partial list of the kinds of things for which you can request AX welfare support.

Death insurance (CNP)

Death or illness leading to total loss of independence is often a very difficult experience for the victim’s family to cope with.

With this in mind, AX has negotiated a specially designed death insurance policy with CNP for Polytechnique alumni. The policy can be tailored to suit different professional situations, such as executives with no company insurance cover, civil servants with limited cover and entrepreneurs with no cover.

All École Polytechnique AX members (an express condition of the policy) and their partners qualify for cover under this group death and disability insurance policy.

 

Part of the variable commission on this policy is paid back to AX each year, to help finance the support provided by the Solidarity Fund, such as buying a specialised wheelchair and paying the school fees of children who have lost one of their parents.
