FAQs for Bologna University Study Grants
Q.Is an English proficiency test (like IELTS/TOEFL) required for the Bologna University Study Grants?
No, an IELTS or TOEFL score is not strictly required as the primary selection criterion. Merit is primarily assessed through standardized aptitude tests like the GRE General Test for Master's programs and the SAT/TOLC test for Bachelor's programs. However, proficiency in English may still need to be demonstrated for admission to your chosen degree program, depending on the program's specific requirements.
Q.What does the 'Bologna University Study Grants' (Unibo Actions 1&2) cover?
The scholarship typically offers two main benefits: Unibo Action 1 provides a full waiver of tuition fees for the standard duration of your degree program, and Unibo Action 2 provides a gross cash study grant. The annual cash grant amount varies, generally between €6,500 and €11,000 gross per academic year for Master's students, and approximately €11,059 gross per year for Bachelor's students in previous cycles.
Q.How do I prove my financial status if my family income is outside Italy?
If you cannot provide an Italian ISEE certificate, you must submit equivalent financial documentation to certify your family's economic situation. The exact required documents and guidelines for this equivalent certification will be detailed in the official Call for Applications for the 2026/2027 academic year. Generally, your financial status should be equivalent to an ISEE between €16,000 and €35,000.
Q.Can I apply for the scholarship and my degree program separately?
Yes, the application for the 'International Talents @Unibo' scholarship is a separate process from applying for admission to your chosen degree program at the University of Bologna. You must submit your scholarship application exclusively via Studenti Online, and separately complete all admission procedures required for your specific Bachelor's or Master's degree program on its respective website.
