24 Merit scholarships a. y. 2023/2024
The University of Pisa allocates every year 24 merit scholarships to international students admitted to one of the Master Degrees taught in English language, or in the Bachelor's Degree in Management for Business and Economics, in order to promote the academic offer in English of the University to international students.
The merit study grant consists of:
- First year of course: 6 thousand 500 euros gross and exemption from University fees (except for € 140,00 for Regional taxes, and € 16.00 for stamp duty).
- Second year of course for Master's Degree: 8 thousand euros gross and a reduction of 50% of the University fees if the student has obtained at least 36 CFU credits by 30 of September 2023.
- Second and third year of Bachelor's Degree: 8 thousand euros gross and a reduction of 50% of the University fees if the student has obtained at least 36 CFU credits (first year) and 96 CFU credits (second year) by 30 of September 2023.
The winners will receive the scholarship after their arrival in Pisa and only after having applied for the recidency permit and enrolled at the University of Pisa.
The scholarships will be paid each year, in two instalments, 5 months apart, and only after sending the required documentation to the International Office. For the second and third year, the grant allocation requirements will be assessed starting from the beginning of October.
