Provider
The Regional Scholarships at Iuav University of Venice help international students who lack the financial resources to study abroad fund a degree in Venice, Italy. The awards are part of Italy's regional right-to-study system and provide full funding that can be renewed each year as long as the student meets the requirements. The cash amount depends on the student's residence status and is paid in 2 instalments, with 3 published maximum levels: 2,481.75 euros for students living on site, 3,598.51 euros for commuter students, and 6,157.74 euros for off-site students who relocate to Venice. To keep the scholarship, students must earn at least 20 university credits by 30 November 2026; otherwise the whole amount must be returned. Applicants must be enrolled in an Iuav programme, must not benefit from another Italian or international scholarship at the same time, and must meet the merit and income criteria (for example, students entering their second year need 25 credits, with a 5-credit bonus available). Non-EU students who are not yet enrolled must also satisfy the conditions for an Italian study visa. Applications are submitted online through the Student Web Service area. Because amounts, credit thresholds and deadlines are reset each year by the regional agency, confirm the current-cycle figures and dates on the official Iuav and ESU Venezia pages before applying.
