STUDENT LIFE > accommodation > allowance
If you already have an accommodation in Pau, please let us know. Otherwise, we will propose you the following solutions.
The French Caisse d’Allocations Familiales (CAF) offers financial aid to students and low income earners in order to reduce their accommodation costs.
CAF website

Here is the list of documents which are requested by the CAF in order to be eligible for such an allowance :
  • photocopy of your resident’s permit
  • photocopy of your resident’s permit
  • proof of residence in the area of Pau (rental bill, utility bill…)
  • financial resources of the previous year (special form from the CAF to complete)
  • a birth certificate translated in French (or an international one)
  • your French bank account number
  • copy of your visa

If you share an apartment with other students of the same sex as you, each of you should fill in an individual application.
If you share an apartment with a student of different sex, you should fill in only one application, because you will be considered as a couple by the administration.

Please note that considering the huge number of applications, you may get your allowance after the end of your stay in Pau.
