University of PISA Italy DSU Scholarships for are Open: Apply Before the Deadline!

The University of Pisa DSU scholarship can be applied for through the Agenzia Regionale Diritto allo Studio Universitario – DSU, which is the agency for the University Study Right of the Tuscany Regional Council (Regione Toscana). A DSU grant includes free accommodation, free meals at the University dining halls, a contribution to cover extra expenses (sporting activities, books, etc.), and exemption from University tuition fees.

Applicants must be students planning to enroll or already enrolled in a Degree program at the University of Pisa, if they do not already have a qualification of the same level of education. The page describes an application process and required documents for foreign students accessing DSU services, with additional document requirements for EU students, Non-EU students from developing countries, and other Non-EU students.

For selection, the DSU call publishes a ranking that considers annual family income for the first year of application, and for subsequent years also takes into account academic merit. The DSU draws up a single ranking list including both foreign and Italian students, and results are published at www.dsu.toscana.it and made available in students’ personal area without personal written communication to applicants concerning results. The grant is valid for only one academic year, so students have to repeat the application each academic year.
