Regional scholarships

Regional scholarships are benefits aimed at ensuring the right to higher education (in Italian Diritto allo Studio Universitario, or DSU in short). They consist of a sum of money, plus free access to refectory services. These scholarships are funded by the Lombardy Region and the Ministry of University and Research. To be eligible for these scholarships, students must be regularly enrolled in a degree programme of the University of Milan and meet certain requirements in terms of academic merit and income. Students enrolled in vocational master’s programmes and postgraduate medical schools as well as PhD students who are already in receipt of a scholarship or research grant are not eligible to apply. As a general rule, the following categories are also not eligible: • students who already receive similar benefits for the same programme year; • part-time students or students enrolled on a shortened career path; • repeating students; • students who already hold an Italian degree of the same or higher level as the degree programme for which they are applying for the scholarship. Regional scholarships are awarded annually, through a public competition. Payments are made on the “Carta La Statale”, the personal badge for access to university services. Please note that in order to receive payments, you will have to activate your Carta La Statale as a Flash Up Studio La Statale prepaid card. As of 2024, you can access the unimi.it portal to apply for DSU benefits by using your SPID identity.
