What this figure depends on
cash, gross, per academic year, on top of a full tuition fee waiver
Paid as a single instalment of €2,500 gross at the beginning of the semester, unlike the Platinum and Gold awards which split into two and hold the second half back until you have sat exams.

What it covers
What the money buys, and who it is for.
Ten awards of €2,500 gross plus a full tuition fee waiver, for international students entering the first year of Mechanical Engineering (Mechatronics for Manufacturing) taught in English at the Piacenza campus. It is the smallest cash amount in the Merit call and it is tied to that single programme.
Included
- A tuition fee waiver for the entire academic year the scholarship is assigned for
- A single gross payment of €2,500 at the beginning of the semester
What it does not cover
It does not cover the administrative fee of approximately €170, which recipients must pay to accept the award. No housing, meals, travel or insurance component. The amount is gross and is taxed as income equivalent to employment income.

Where
Emilia-Romagna
The catch
The waiver is worth more than the cash here
Why
At €2,500 the Bronze allowance is smaller than the tuition it saves you. The maximum annual tuition and contributions for a Laurea Magistrale is €3,943.04, and a non-EU student holding a foreign bachelor's with no scholarship pays that maximum even after filing an ISEE. So the headline number understates the award. It is also the one Merit tier paid in a single instalment, which means no second payment to plan around later in the year.

We do not award any of the funding on this page. We cannot promise you any of it. Meeting a stated criterion is a fact. Being given the money is a decision somebody else makes.
The three questions

- What do you want to study in Italy?
- What can your family put behind it?
