Aid for student life (housing, transport, insurance, etc.)

 

Most student tenants are eligible for benefits from the French Family Benefit Office (CAF) to cover part of their rent costs. However, these allowances are not student grants: they are available to all those on low incomes.

To receive these aids, you will have to:

  • Be a signatory to a rental contract (the lease cannot be signed by your parents)
  • Occupy the dwelling as a principal residence (rental receipts must be issued in the name of the recipient)
  • Have an income below the thresholds indicated.

There are two types of housing aid paid by the CAF: the social housing allowance (ALS) and the personal housing allowance (APL). However, these two types of aid cannot be combined.
