DSU regional scholarships are part of the right to study in favour of particularly deserving students who, faced with an unfavourable economic situation, intend to continue their studies at a university or AFAM institution.
Grants are awarded according to the criteria set out in the call for applications, drawn up annually on the basis of the indications provided by the Lombardy Region, including eligibility requirements (income limits and merit requirements) and available in the download area of this page.
In particular, two requirements are taken into account when awarding DSU scholarship benefits:
- the INCOME: it is necessary to apply for the ISEE valid for the right to study (which not present omissions/defects); its value must be less than (or equal to) the limit set in the notice;
- the MERIT: for the years following the first year, CFAs (Academic Training Credits) obtained by the student will be taken into account. The minimum number of CFA required varies depending on the year of enrolment and the level of the course of study (Academic Diploma I or II level). For the first year, the only eligibility requirement for benefits is income, however, to retain the benefit the student must achieve a minimum number of CFAs during the academic year, as stipulated in the notice.
Interested parties are invited to read the notice below.
