Is it mandatory to pay the semester fees or is there a scope for scholarships to cover them in Italy?

Yes, semester fees are typically mandatory in Italy, but scholarships can cover part or all of these fees.

- Regional and university scholarships can fully or partially waive tuition fees. Some, like the DSU Toscana, cover all tuition except a small regional tax.
- You must apply for scholarships before their deadlines, which vary by university and region.
- If you pay fees while waiting for scholarship results, you may be eligible for a refund or adjustment if awarded.
