Study in Italy with Regional Scholarships (DSU)

"The capable and deserving, even if without means, have the right to reach the highest levels of study."

- The Italian System's Promise

Dreaming of Studying in Italy?

Imagine walking through the historic streets of Rome, Florence, or Milan, studying at a world-class university, and experiencing Italy’s rich culture—all while having your tuition, accommodation, and meals fully or partially covered by a government scholarship.

Sounds exciting? Italy’s Right to Study (DSU) Scholarships make this dream a reality for thousands of students every year—including Non-EU students like you!

What is the DSU Scholarship?

Italy believes that education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of financial background. That’s why the government, through regional agencies, offers the Diritto allo Studio Universitario (DSU) Scholarships to both Italian and international students.

These scholarships help cover tuition fees, accommodation, food, and living expenses, making it much more affordable for you to study in Italy.

Good news for Non-EU students: You CAN apply for DSU scholarships in the same way as Italian students!

What Does the DSU Scholarship Cover?

Full or Partial Tuition Fee Waiver

Some universities completely waive tuition fees, while others provide significant discounts.

Free or Subsidized Accommodation

Many DSU scholarships offer free student dorms or housing support for those living off-campus.

Free or Discounted Meals

Enjoy free or low-cost meals at university dining halls.

Annual Cash Grant (€5,000–€7,000 per year!)

This helps cover books, transport, and other expenses while studying.
