ESU Molise - Integration of the scholarship for participation in international mobility programs

ESU Molise mobility top-up scholarship

During your studies or an internship abroad, you will receive a supplement of 600 EUR per month for up to 10 months. This is a supplement paid on top of the regular ESU Molise study grant, and is not a separate scholarship. It is paid by E.S.U. Molise, the public body responsible for the right to education in the Italian region of Molise. You can only receive this supplement once. The total budget for 2025/2026 is 40,000 EUR and will be paid out until the funds have been exhausted. Any funding you are already receiving from EU sources (for example, an Erasmus+ mobility grant) or from your university will be deducted from the supplementary payment. Stays abroad lasting less than 15 days will not be reimbursed.

Who can apply

• Where you study: You are enrolled at a higher education institution in the Molise region: the University of Molise, the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Campobasso, the ‘Lorenzo Perosi’ Conservatoire of Music, or the School for Language Teachers in Molise.
• Base grant: You have already received or qualified for the standard ESU-Molise study grant for the same academic year. Income limits apply to this grant: a household ISEE of up to 19,564.02 EUR and an ISPE (an asset indicator) of up to 42,530.51 EUR.
• Mobility place: Your university is ranked highly enough in the rankings for 2025/2026 to take part in an international mobility programme (such as Erasmus+).
• Credits abroad: For your study abroad programme or work placement abroad, you will receive academic credits (CFU) which will be recognised as part of your degree programme in Italy.
• Level: This programme is aimed at students on Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes (single- or two-stage), as well as PhD students and students on specialisation programmes.
• Field of study: Open to all subjects.
• Nationality: Applicants of all nationalities are eligible to apply, provided they are enrolled at one of the listed institutions in Molise.
