Yes, in Italy you can apply for scholarships and also work part-time as an international student to help manage your expenses.

- Scholarships: Options include Italian government scholarships, university-specific awards, and regional scholarships. These are typically based on merit or financial need.
- Part-time work: With a valid study permit, you can work up to 20 hours per week during term time (maximum 1,040 hours/year). Common jobs are in hospitality, retail, university departments, and tutoring.

You must have a valid residence permit and an employment contract to work legally. If you need help identifying suitable scholarships or job options, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
