In line with its internationalization strategies for increasing incoming mobility and attractiveness to foreign students, the University of Milan gives its international students the possibility to be offered scholarships and exemptions from tuition fees.
For academic year 2025/2026, 160 incentives are available to the best international students admitted to a Master's degree programme, of which:
- 60 scholarships worth € 8,000 each, with the right to exemption from the all-inclusive tuition fee
- 100 total exemptions from the all-inclusive tuition fee
The grants contribute to the constitution of total income and are subject to Irpef taxation since they are assimilated to employee income (Article 50, paragraph 1, letter c) of the TUIR).
"Excellence Scholarships" are awarded by an ad-hoc Commission among all those who applied for admission to a Master's degree programme by 31 May 2025.
You don't have to apply. In July, the beneficiaries will receive a formal email confirming the grant.
If you are a student holding international protection, you can participate in the Call for 100 scholarships offerd by The Ministry of University and Research, in agreement with the Conference of Italian Universities Rectors (CRUI).
