What do the DSU, ER.GO, EDISU and DiSCo scholarships in Italy cover for me as an international student?
Regional scholarships in Italy such as DSU, ER.GO, EDISU and DiSCo can combine financial grants, accommodation, dining or meal services and tuition-related support. They are mainly means-tested, so what you receive depends on your economic condition, residence category and available regional funding, and eligibility does not guarantee every benefit.
Several Italian regions offer scholarships that can cover multiple costs, and they are often awarded on financial need. All four schemes below apply to bachelor's, master's and PhD levels.
Coverage by scholarship
| Scholarship | Coverage |
|---|---|
| DSU Regional Scholarships | A combination of tuition fee exemption, financial grant, accommodation and subsidised dining, based on financial status and regional rules |
| ER.GO Emilia-Romagna Scholarship | Financial grant, accommodation, dining benefits and tuition-related support per the annual regional call |
| EDISU Piemonte Scholarship | Scholarship and housing based on eligibility; the restaurant service is separate, and tuition exemption is not listed |
| DiSCo Lazio Scholarship | Financial support and student welfare services per annual funding and eligibility criteria |
How awards are decided
These scholarships are primarily means-tested. The amount and type of support depend on your economic condition (ISEE or equivalent), residence category and available regional funding, and being eligible does not automatically mean you receive every benefit.
My Advice
Check the annual call of the region you are interested in and prepare your financial documents early. Do not assume you will get every benefit, and plan your budget with a backup in case support is partial.
