France changes housing aid rules for international students: Here’s what to know
France is set to discontinue housing aid for non-EU/EEA/Swiss international students without scholarships from July 1, 2026, as part of budget cuts. This move aims to save over €100 million annually by redirecting public funds. While students from the EU, EEA, Switzerland, and scholarship recipients will retain eligibility, others must prepare for the change. Details on implementation are still pending.
