University of Bologna - Subsidies for a degree in Statistics

What you get

Upon enrolment on a statistics degree programme at the University of Bologna, you will receive a sum of one-off payment of about 500 EUR. The exact amount depends on your family income (measured using the Italian ISEE indicator) and your gender. Women with an ISEE of up to 33,000 EUR receive the highest amount, followed by men on low incomes and, finally, students on higher incomes. The funding comes from the University of Bologna’s Student Financial Aid Office, which runs a comprehensive support programme for STEAM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics).
