During your stay in France, you are entitled to receive a fixed sum of money per month from the French government. This is a very common procedure for all French students, but you can also apply for it as a foreign student.

 

The procedure is very simple, and should be carried out online via the CAF (Caisse d'Allocations Familliales) website. You can also estimate the amount you'll receive.
