🇫🇷 Thinking about studying in France? Here’s What You Need to Know About CAF! 💶
Hey Beyond the States community,
Did you know that international students in France can apply for CAF (Caisse d’Allocations Familiales) to get housing subsidies? 🎉 Whether you’re renting a cozy apartment in Paris or a dorm in Lyon, this program can significantly reduce your housing costs.
Here’s the best part: you don’t have to be a French citizen to qualify! As long as you’re a student with a residence permit and a lease, you can apply. Depending on your rent and income, the subsidy can cover a chunk of your monthly housing expenses.
📋 How to Apply:
1️⃣ Register on the CAF website (caf.fr) once you’ve arrived in France.
2️⃣ Submit your documents, including your lease, student ID, and residence permit.
3️⃣ Wait for approval—then enjoy the savings!
It’s a small step that can make a huge difference to your budget while living abroad. Let me know if you’ve had experience with CAF or need tips on applying!
