I'm planning to apply to the University of Pavia and I've heard they might offer scholarships for international students. Can anyone provide details on what scholarships are available and how to apply for them?
The University of Pavia indeed offers scholarships for international students. Two notable scholarships are the EDiSU scholarships and the "Invest Your Talent in Italy" Program.
EDiSU scholarships are provided by the EDiSU, which is an institution that offers scholarships and financial aid to eligible students in Pavia. These scholarships are based on both merit and income. The application period typically opens in the summer, and international students can apply immediately after enrolling in a degree course. Applications are evaluated on the basis of merit, income and assets. Also important to note, holders of an EDiSU scholarship may also have access to EDiSU accommodation services at a reduced price.
On the other hand, the "Invest Your Talent in Italy" Program, managed by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, is aimed specifically at international students from certain participating countries. If you are from one of the eligible countries, you may apply for this scholarship, which covers tuition fees, living expenses, and even offers an Italian language course.
The application for these scholarships usually requires a completed application form, your transcript of records, and other documents highlighting your academic achievements. The exact documentation required, as well as the application process, may vary, and I would strongly suggest checking the University of Pavia's official website or reaching out to their financial aid office for the most precise and updated information.
Lastly, remember that the application deadlines for these scholarships are often different from the application deadlines for admission, so make sure to check these dates and plan accordingly. Good luck with your applications!
