Key scholarship options include:
- Italian Government Scholarship (MAECI): Offers a monthly stipend, tuition fee exemption, and health insurance for Master’s and PhD programs. Application deadlines are typically in March for the following academic year.
- DSU Regional Scholarships: Need-based, providing tuition waivers, accommodation, meals, and allowances. Deadlines and eligibility vary by region.
- Invest Your Talent in Italy: For fields like engineering and management, includes tuition waivers and a €9,000/year scholarship. Applications usually open January - March.
- University-Specific Scholarships: Many universities offer merit scholarships, with deadlines typically between January and March.

Scholarship availability, benefits, and deadlines are subject to change each year. Early preparation is important.
