Regional scholarships

Education incentive Programme - Diritto allo Studio

Regional scholarships consisting of a sum of money and free access to refectory services are related to education incentive programmes.

Financed by the Lombardy government, the Ministry of University and Research and by the European Union - Next Generation EU.

The scholarships are awarded via competition, to university students meeting certain merit, income and regular attendance requirements, provided they are regularly enrolled in University programmes.

Students enrolled in first level master programmes, medical schools of specialisation and doctoral students - who already enjoy a scholarship or research grant - are not eligible to apply.

Applicants must:

  • not hold scholarships from other institutions for the same year of their programme
  • not be enrolled in a part-time programme
  • not be enrolled as repeating students on a programme level they have already attended;
  • not hold degrees, obtained in Italy, in programmes of the same or higher level of the one for which they're requesting the scholarship.

The scholarship is paid on the “Carta La Statale”, the University personal badge for access to University services. In order to receive the payments, the Carta La Statale must be activated as a prepaid card Flash Up Studio La Statale.

As of 2024, you can access the University's admission / enrolment / education incentive programmes and information services by using your SPID identity. Further information is available on the Registration page.
