Summary
The Italian Government awards scholarships for studying in Italy both to foreign citizens and Italian citizens resident abroad (IRE). The aim of these scholarships is to foster international cultural cooperation, spread the Italian language, culture and science knowledge and promote the economic and technological sectors of Italy all around the world.
Benefits:
Normally, the scholarship holders are exempt from the payment of the university tuition fees in accordance with existing regulations. However, the Universities, as part of their autonomy, may not allow such exemption. Candidates are therefore recommended to contact the chosen Institution in order to be informed on eventual taxes or tuition fees.
For the sole period of the scholarships granted by the Italian Government, the scholarship holders are covered by an insurance policy against illness and/or accident. Air tickets are not granted except for Chilean citizens.
