ItalyAbout the University of Bologna Study Grants
The University of Bologna's international student funding combines two components: a tuition-fee waiver and a separate cash study grant for living costs, together forming a genuinely useful package for admitted Bachelor's and Master's students holding a qualification from outside the Italian education system. A standardized test, GRE for Master's applicants or SAT/TOLC for Bachelor's applicants, is required as part of the process.
You need to apply for program admission first, then submit a separate Study Grant or International Talents application before the deadline, rather than being automatically considered.
