The Ca’ Foscari University of Venice Regional Scholarship for a.y. 2026/27 can be worth up to €8,246 for a full-time non-resident student in the lowest ISEE band. The scholarship application must be transmitted by 30 September 2026 at 12:30 (noon) — not midnight. For the main scholarship, ISEE must not exceed €26,306.25 and ISPE must not exceed €43,125.94. International students with foreign family income/assets generally need an ISEE Parificato, using current family composition and 2024 income/assets.

Ca’ Foscari Scholarship 2026/27 — Key Facts

1. What is the Ca’ Foscari Regional Scholarship and why does it exist?

This is the regional scholarship for the right to university education managed by Ca’ Foscari University of Venice on behalf of the Veneto Region. It is not the same as Ca’ Foscari’s separate merit/international-talent scholarships.

The purpose of the regional scholarship is to help capable students in difficult financial conditions meet the maintenance costs of university study. The call is structured around at least ten months of the academic year and combines money with services such as catering and, where applicable, accommodation managed through ESU Venezia.

2. Who can apply?

• Students enrolled for the first time in a Bachelor’s or Master's degree.
• Students enrolled in subsequent years of a Bachelor’s or Master's degree.
• Eligible PhD students who are not receiving the PhD scholarship excluded by the call.
• Part-time students under the separate reduced amount/merit rules.
• Students with qualifying disability/recognised handicap under the specific Article 14 rules.

Important academic-history rule: The benefit is awarded for the first completion of each degree level. Previous university enrolment, transfer, withdrawal/forfeiture, internal course changes and already-held degrees can change the “year of career” or eligibility. Do not decide eligibility only from the course year shown on the current admission letter.

3. ISEE and ISPE limits: you must pass both

For 2026/27, the controlling call uses: ISEE ≤ €26,306.25 and ISPE ≤ €43,125.94. Both conditions must be satisfied. A low family income does not compensate for an asset indicator above the ISPE limit.

4. How much is the scholarship?

For the majority of full-time students, the standard scholarship amounts are:

• If a non-resident/independent beneficiary uses ESU residential accommodation, €1,600 is deducted as the standard accommodation share.
• Students simultaneously enrolled in two study programmes can receive a 20% increase if applicable conditions are met.
• Female students enrolled in listed STEM programmes can receive a specific 20% increase. Combination restrictions apply.
• For the seventh semester of a Bachelor’s and fifth semester of a Master’s, scholarship and service shares are generally reduced by 50%.

5. Complete deadline timeline — from application to payment

Step 1 — Start international financial documents first

For an ISEE Parificato issued in 2026, the key rule is: current family composition in 2026, but income and assets from calendar year 2024. Ca’ Foscari’s FAQ specifically confirms that an ISEE issued in 2026 refers to 2024 financial evidence.

International / foreign-income document checklist:

• Student passport/identity document and Italian codice fiscale.
• Current family-composition certificate showing each household member and relationship.
• 2024 income evidence for each relevant adult family member (Jan–Dec 2024).
• Property/real-estate position at 31 December 2024 showing ownership details and square metres (m²).
• Explicit evidence of no real estate where family owns no property.
• Bank/postal account statements showing both 31 December 2024 balance AND 2024 average balance.
• Investments, securities, shares or life insurance values at 31 December 2024.
• Signed CAF ISEE Parificato delegation/authorisation form.

Indian Students: Apostille and Official Translation

India is in the Apostille group in Ca’ Foscari’s 2026 ISEE Parificato guidance:

1. Obtain original financial/family/property documents from competent Indian authorities in local currency (INR).
2. Apostille the competent original public document via the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).
3. Translate into Italian using an accepted official route: a sworn translation in Italy or an officially validated translation abroad. Self-translations or AI translations are rejected.
