University of Milan Excellence Scholarships for International Students

In line with its internationalization strategies for increasing incoming mobility and attractiveness to foreign students, the University of Milan offers its international students scholarships and exemptions from tuition fees.

For the academic year 2025/2026, 160 incentives are available to the best international students admitted to a Master’s degree programme, of which:

• 60 scholarships worth € 8,000 each, with the right to exemption from the all-inclusive tuition fee
• 100 total exemptions from the all-inclusive tuition fee

The grants contribute to the constitution of total income and are subject to Irpef taxation since they are assimilated to employee income (Article 50, paragraph 1, letter c) of the TUIR).

“Excellence Scholarships” are awarded by an ad hoc Commission to all applicants for admission to a Master’s degree programme by 31 May 2025.

You don’t have to apply. In July, the beneficiaries will receive a formal email confirming the grant.
