What it pays for

EUR 10,800 per year paid in quarterly instalments, plus exemption from enrolment fees and university contributions. You still pay the regional right-to-study tax, stamp duty, insurance and health insurance, and travel and accommodation are not covered.

Who can apply

  • Master's Degree
  • PhD / Doctorate

Application window

The 11th edition ran 20 April – 11 May 2026; the next edition is expected in April – May 2027 (projected)

For Bangladeshi applicants: Bangladesh is explicitly listed as an eligible country. It is for master’s and postgraduate study only and requires a compulsory internship at an Italian company or professional association, so it is not a route if you want to stay in the classroom.
