University scholarships

University Merit Scholarships

Varies

Individual Top 100 universities

Many Top 100 universities award their own merit scholarships to strong international applicants, reducing tuition by 10–100%. T100U identifies which of your target universities offer merit awards and positions your application to compete for them.

Eligibility & how to apply

Who can apply

  • Strong academics — merit awards follow grades, not need
  • Some are automatic with admission; others need a separate application
  • English scores often feed the assessment

Where and how to apply

Route varies by university — on each university page here we show its scholarships, and we position your application for the specific awards you can win when we prepare it.

Destination-government scholarships

DSU Regional Scholarships (Diritto allo Studio Universitario)

Full funding

Italian regional student-welfare bodies (DiSCo Lazio, DSU Toscana, EDISU Piemonte, ER.GO Emilia-Romagna and others)

Italy's regional student-welfare system, and the strongest value in Europe for a family on a modest income. Assessment is based mainly on documented family income rather than pure academic competition, which is what makes it winnable. For a qualifying student it waives tuition entirely, provides university accommodation and one canteen meal a day, and pays a yearly cash stipend in the region of EUR 6,500-7,200. Italy requires a school qualification from 12 years of study, so an 11-year certificate needs a completed foundation year first - a Malaysian foundation certificate, submitted with its exam results and credits, is the standard bridge.

Eligibility & how to apply

Who can apply

  • Documented family income (ISEE) below the regional threshold - commonly around EUR 25,000
  • Enrolled or pre-enrolled at a public university in that region — the application is made before enrolment is complete, so a place is not needed on the day you apply
  • A qualification from 12 years of schooling, or a completed foundation year with exams and credits
  • Renewed each year by earning the required credits
  • CIMEA Statement of Comparability is usually required for the foreign qualification

Start preparing now

  • No language test is set by DSU itself — the scholarship is assessed on documented family income, not on scores.
  • The UNIVERSITY sets the language bar: Italian-taught degrees typically require Italian at B2, English-taught ones an English test. Check the specific course.
  • CIMEA Statement of Comparability for your qualification — start this early, it is slow and it is the usual reason a strong candidate misses the deadline.
  • Diarise the regional deadline the day the university is chosen. It closes in summer, before departure — treating the scholarship as something to arrange after arriving in Italy is how the award is lost.

Where and how to apply

Pre-enrol through Universitaly, apply to the university, and apply separately to the regional DSU body for the region you are studying in - the scholarship and the admission are two different applications with two different deadlines. We prepare and submit both, including the CIMEA assessment.

Eligible citizens: UZ · KZ · TJ · KG

Application window: Each region publishes its own call — for 2026/27 they opened in June-July and closed between late July and early September, all before the October start. The deadline falls BEFORE departure, so this is applied for from home, not after arrival. Check the exact date for the region of the university, and note pre-enrolment via Universitaly runs separately in the spring
