What English test scores do I need for scholarships in Italy as an Indian student?

For English-taught programs, Italian scholarships usually ask for IELTS or TOEFL scores. Some universities may accept a Medium of Instruction letter if your last degree was fully in English.

Other eligibility points to keep in mind

• Merit awards, such as those at Padua and PoliMi, weigh your academic record most.
• Need-based aid looks at family income proof, using the ISEE Parificato equivalent for foreign applicants.
• Other household income records may be needed, as listed in the call.
• Income thresholds are regional and vary by the DSU agency you apply under.

My Advice

Check the language line of each scholarship separately, because rules differ even within one country. Book your test early enough to hold a score that matches the strictest option on your list, and read the official scholarship page for the current cycle.
