Deadlines for this scholarship
An award closing is only the first of the dates that matter. After it there is the deposit that keeps your place, the unconditional offer the funder wants to see before it pays, and a last day to arrive and register. Where the funder publishes none of these, the row says so — a blank is what the official page actually says, not something we have left out.
No closing date published. This funder sets its closing date per country, or opens the call only when the cycle begins. Send us your documents and we will apply the moment your country’s window opens.
Who can apply
Enrolled at a Tuscan university; non-EU students need an ISEE parificato via an Italian CAF.
What the award is
The Tuscany regional agency for the right to education (DSU Toscana/ARDSU) runs an annual public competition for scholarships open to students enrolled at Tuscan universities, and its English pages state that extra-EU students, students from developing countries and EU students each apply through their own track (extra-EU applicants certify family income/standard of living through their home-country authorities or their embassy in Italy). Winners get a means-tested cash grant plus free canteen meals, a dormitory place and exemption from the regional study tax. For 2026/2027 the bachelor's and master's application window ran 20 July - 7 September 2026, while the doctoral and specialisation schools window runs 25 September - 16 November 2026.
