Scholarship Benefits
- A tuition-fee exemption for your two-year Master's, leaving only a one-off contribution of about EUR 30 to pay.
- An annual grant of around EUR 4,300 per year (gross of withholding tax paid by the student and net of that paid by the University), per the most recent published call.
- Support across both years of the master's, matching the standard magistrale duration.
- Regional tax and stamp duty set by the Lazio Region may still apply, and the grant is taxable in the way the call describes. The award does not cover travel to Italy or a separate housing allowance, so budget for those.
