Applications are now open for the University of Bergamo Top International Student Grants for the academic years 2026–2027 and 2027–2028. This scholarship is open to international students from all over the world — both EU and non-EU citizens — who want to study a Master’s degree in Italy.
The university is offering 6 scholarships in total, each worth €16,000 spread over two years.
