Regione Veneto Scholarships for Studying in University of Padua

Full Scholarships of Regione Veneto

As one of the oldest surviving university, the University of Padua offers scholarships for International Students who are from low family income to help them to continue their studies. The University of Padua is an Italian university located in the city of Padua, region of Veneto, northern Italy. The University of Padua was founded in 1222 which is the second-oldest university in Italy after University of Bologna.

As part of the annual action plan of the Veneto Region to implement the Right to higher education for academic year 2021/22, the University of Padua announces a call for applications for scholarships reserved for capable and deserving students lacking financial resources. By awarding scholarships, the University aims to contribute to living expenses borne by students over a period of at least ten months for each year of the degree programme.

Scholarships Eligibility

Students enrolled at the University of Padua in academic year 2011/22 and meeting specific economic and merit requirements can apply for regional scholarships. To be consider, you must:

• be enrolled for the first time in the first year of a Bachelor's/ Master's/ Single-cycle degree programme;
• be enrolled in years subsequent to the first of a Bachelor's/ Master's/ Single-cycle degree programme (students who are going to obtain their Bachelor's degree later than 30 September 2021 and who wish to enroll in a Master's degree programme during the year may also apply, provided they follow the same procedure and meet the same deadlines)
• be enrolled in a PhD programme, provided they do not benefit from another scholarship already.

The regional scholarship cannot be combined with other scholarships which serve for similar purposes, i.e., covering living expenses, except for those awarded by national or foreign institutions to supplement training or research activities with stays abroad (mobility grants). Students selected for a regional scholarship who have already been awarded or are awarded another scholarship for similar purposes at the same time (except for mobility grants) must opt for only one scholarship.
