80 new scholarships to deserving international students 

The University of Bologna is offering 80 new scholarships to deserving international students who intend to enrol in first-, second- and single-cycle degree programmes in a.y. 2024/25.

Scholarships are worth €4.500 gross and include full exemption of tuition fees.

Scholarships and exemptions are awarded for one academic year, based on SAT and GRE test scores and the verification of financial status.

Some scholarships and exemptions are reserved for scholarship students from the previous Unibo Action 2 programme and are awarded on the basis of academic merit and the verification of financial status.

Requirements

You can apply for International Talents @Unibo if you meet the following requirements:

  • qualification: you have obtained, or are in the process of obtaining, a qualification belonging to a non-Italian education system, valid for access to your chosen programme. Students with Italian high school qualifications obtained in Italian schools abroad may also apply;
  • merit: you will have taken one of the following international tests by the deadline for application: 
    - if you want to enrol in first- or single-cycle degree programmes, the SAT test
    - if you want to enrol in second-cycle degree programmes, the GRE test 
    SAT and GRE are aptitude and skills assessment tests that can be taken in affiliated centres in various countries around the world or online (if offered by the organisation in charge). You must register for the tests through the websites of the organisations in charge.
    SAT and GRE tests are held in English.
  • financial status: you have an ISEE (Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator) of between €16.000 and €35.000 or equivalent financial status, if you cannot submit an ISEE certificate because your family has income outside Italy.

    Read the information on the documentation to certify your family's economic situation. Check and prepare the required documents in good time because you will have to submit them before the deadline and it can take several weeks to obtain them.

  • age: you must not be older than 30 years on the closing date of the call for applications
