Padua International Excellence Scholarship

The University of Padua offers up to 68 scholarships to highly talented international students enrolling in English-taught degree programmes. The scholarship programme is highly selective, awarding only candidates showing the highest achievements and school/academic records. Successful scholars will be expected to fulfil an ambassadorial role and represent the University at various events. The scholarship includes a fee waiver plus €8,000 gross amount per academic year, with beneficiaries only paying an admission fee consisting of regional tax and marca da bollo. The programme has a maximum duration of 2 continuous years for Master's degree candidates and 3 continuous years for Bachelor's and Single-Cycle degree candidates. Selection is automatic for eligible applicants who meet the criteria, with no separate application required beyond the standard degree programme application. Academic Committees shortlist eligible applicants based on academic excellence in their field of study, quality, and records from their prior learning.
