Yes, you can apply to public universities in France even if you do not receive a scholarship.

Public universities in France offer affordable tuition fees for international students. For the 2026 - 2027 academic year, non-EU students typically pay around €2,895/year for a Bachelor's and €3,941/year for a Master's. These figures are subject to change.

You should also budget for living expenses, which are higher in major cities like Paris.

Scholarships are available but competitive, so it's important to plan for self-funding.
