A real and legitimate concern of every student wishing to study abroad is how to answer the nagging question, "How do I pay for my study abroad?" This is practical as studying overseas can be an expensive endeavor. For international students in need of financial assistance, it is possible to get funding for your study overseas if you do a little research, as we have initiated for you on this page. And if you are an international student wishing to study in Italy, there are certain scholarships available to you from the very beginning.
International students in Italy are entitled to the same financial aid services available to their fellow Italian students based on the same prerequisites of financial means and/or merit. Government scholarships at the national and regional level are available to which international students can apply to study in Italy. In addition, some higher education institutions in Italy (Italian Universities, Colleges, etc) offer Italian scholarship programs for international students. [Note: International students should see this invaluable resource for students studying both within and outside their home country. Also see other scholarship lists.]
