Study Abroad for Free in France <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

France <\/strong>might not be as affordable as Germany<\/strong><\/a>, and might not even have public universities with free tuition fees, but as compared to other countries, it sure has a minimum university fee, such as \u20ac170 (INR 15,000) for EU <\/strong><\/a>students, and \u20ac2,770 (INR 2.5 lakh), for non-EU students. Along with this, France also recently tripled the number of scholarships <\/strong><\/a>available to international students. This allows students to further their education by supporting themselves financially. When it comes to living costs, something that is a part of studying abroad, the prices are relatively affordable as well. Around \u20ac9,600 (INR 8.9 lakh), per year, might be required for you to set aside for accommodation in France. However, if you think you might face problems affording the study abroad expenses, make sure you contact Leverage Edu<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tuition fee that is to be paid is for a semester, which is NOK 300-600 (INR 2,500 to 5,000). Though at an undergraduate level, programs are offered and taught in the domestic\/national language, therefore you will need to prove your language proficiency.
