The following information does not apply to EMBS programme.
Non-EU citizens living outside Italy
University of Trento provides non-EU citizens permanently residing abroad with scholarships for top scored candidates according to every programme availabilty. For European citizens and non European citizens permanently residing in Italy scholarships are granted by Opera Universitaria, through a yearly online call.
For the first year of enrollment, scholarships are awarded according to the points gained in the final ranking lists.Top scored non-European candidates will be entitled to receive one of UniTrento scholarships for the yearly amount of 7.200 Euros (8500 euros for female students enrolled in STEM degrees). Students will be notified if they are entitled to a scholarship when the short list are published. If you benefit from one of UniTrento scholarships, the tuition fees are waived but, since the number of scholarships is limited, you are not necessarily entitled to receive a UniTrento scholarship if you turn out to be in the "fee waiver" bracket. The amount is payed in two instalments:
- 1st instalment by the end of December of the first year of enrollment;
- 2nd instalment by the end of May of the first year of enrolmment, only if the credits you have gained are at least 50% of the total credit amount that you are supposed to get during the exam session of January and February.
If you do not fulfil the requirement to receive the second instalment in May, you will be allowed to get the second instalment in October provided that you get 42 credits (36 for degrees in Italian) by August 10th.
Should you not be able to get the needed credits by 10th August, you will be asked to give back the part of scholarship already received and you will have to pay the fees established for the next academic year, according to the range values in the table below.
