One of Italy's strongest advantages for international students is the breadth of scholarship and financial-support possibilities. These can include Italian Government grants, regional right-to-study scholarships and university-specific awards or fee reductions. Availability, eligibility, deadlines and benefits vary by programme, institution, region and applicant profile.
Italian Government Grants
The Italian Government's Study in Italy programme offers grants for eligible foreign students and Italian citizens living abroad. The 2026/27 Bangladesh call included Master's programmes, AFAM higher-education courses, PhD programmes, co-supervised research projects and advanced Italian language and culture courses.
Regional Scholarships & Benefits
Italian regional bodies offer scholarships and other support based on financial circumstances and/or merit, with possible benefits depending on the region and relevant call.

Some students may benefit from tuition reductions or exemptions under applicable Italian institutional or regional rules. Eligibility must be checked individually.
BANGLADESH-SPECIFIC APPLICATION & VISA GUIDANCE
Know the Italian Process Before You Start
Italy has a defined pre-enrolment and visa process. For Bangladeshi students, understanding the sequence early can prevent avoidable delays and documentation problems.
Universitaly Pre-Enrolment
For students who require a study visa, the official pre-enrolment process is completed through Universitaly, the Ministry's official portal.
University Validation
The university must validate the relevant pre-enrolment information before the visa stage can proceed.
Language Evidence
The Embassy of Italy in Dhaka states that language certificates submitted for visa purposes must be issued by globally recognized institutes or universities and clearly specify oral comprehension, written comprehension, speaking and writing.
Academic Qualification Evidence
The Embassy of Italy in Dhaka currently asks applicants to provide either a CIMEA certificate or a Declaration of Value as proof of authenticity of the study certificate, according to the applicable checklist.
Financial Evidence
The Embassy's current notice states that acceptable proof of economic guarantees may belong to the applicant or specified close relatives, subject to the applicable requirements.
Visa Appointment
For the current Bangladesh process, students registered through Universitaly are contacted by VFS Global using the same email address used for the Universitaly registration.
