Italy Ca’ Foscari Scholarships for High-Achieving International Students

The university offers targeted merit-based financial aid for international degree-seeking students, taking the form of renewable yearly scholarships that are designed to support studies throughout the duration of the degree.

The university offers 8 Ca’ Foscari Honours Scholarships for new bachelor’s students in English- or Italian-taught programmes, and 20 Ca’ Foscari Honours Scholarships for new master’s students in English- or Italian-taught programmes.
