EDiSU Pavia - Special contibution

What you get

You will receive a one-time cash payment of up to 3,718 EUR if a sudden crisis puts your studies at the University of Pavia at risk. This is emergency assistance, not a monthly grant. The amount is paid as a one-off payment to help you cope with a serious, temporary emergency. A committee determines the exact amount on a case-by-case basis, depending on your circumstances. In some cases, payment is conditional upon achieving a certain number of ECTS credits. The support is provided by EDiSU Pavia, the regional agency for the right to education, which has allocated a sum of 100,000 EUR for the 2025/2026 round.

Who can apply

• University: You are enrolled at the University of Pavia.
• No other scholarship: You are currently NOT in receipt of a regular EDiSU scholarship (borsa di studio) or a comparable grant.
• Sudden hardship: You are facing a serious, temporary crisis, for example due to a proven serious illness affecting you personally, the death or serious illness of a person in your household, or a sudden loss of income.
• Financial situation: Your family’s income also plays a role. In Italy, this is determined on the basis of the ISEE income statement.
• Field of study: All subjects can apply.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply.

How to apply

You must apply online via the EDiSU portal by the deadline for the annual call for applications. For the 2025/2026 round, this was on 10 April 2026 at 23:59. A committee reviews each eligible application, determines the amount of funding on a case-by-case basis and draws up a list of funding recipients. A new call for applications is published every academic year.
