University of Pisa DSU Scholarship 2026/2027: Benefits and How to Apply

The University of Pisa has published the 2026/2027 call for the DSU Toscana scholarship. The opportunity is open to eligible students from any country who plan to enrol at the University of Pisa or are already enrolled there.

Application Deadline

Applications close on September 7, 2026 at 1:00 PM. Applicants should check the official University of Pisa DSU scholarship page for the current call and any category-specific instructions.

What the Scholarship Includes

The value is not a single fixed cash award. Support varies according to the student's economic circumstances and whether the student is classified as on-site, a commuter or living away from home. Eligible recipients may receive:

• Exemption from university tuition fees
• Free accommodation in a university residence or a rent subsidy for eligible students living away from home
• Free meals in DSU canteens
• A monetary allowance for additional expenses such as books and sports activities

Supported Study Programmes

• Bachelor's and single-cycle degree programmes
• Master's degree programmes
• Compatible specialisation courses
• PhD programmes, except where the student already receives a PhD scholarship

Who Can Apply

• Students of any nationality who intend to enrol, or are already enrolled, in a University of Pisa degree programme
• Applicants who do not already hold a qualification at the same level as the programme for which they seek support

For example, an applicant seeking support for a master's degree is not eligible if they already hold a master's degree.

Required Documents

Requirements depend on the applicant's category. Non-EU applicants generally need documents covering family composition, family income, and family and personal property. These documents must be translated into Italian, and both the original and translated versions must be legalised as required by the call.

EU applicants use the substitute declaration specified in the official call. Applicants from countries covered by the call's special documentation route should follow the relevant appendix rather than assuming the standard document list applies.

How to Apply

1. Read the current call and the instructions for your applicant category on the official University of Pisa page.
2. Register on the verified DSU Toscana Sportello Studente portal.
3. Complete and submit the online scholarship application before the deadline.
4. Provide any required income and family documents using the method and deadline stated in the call.
5. Monitor your student area for provisional and final ranking information.

Important Notes

• The scholarship is awarded for one academic year. Students must apply again for each new call.
• Renewal after the first year depends on both economic and merit requirements.
• DSU Toscana and the University of Pisa are separate institutions. Scholarship-support questions should be sent to DSU through the ticket function in Sportello Studente.

Applicants should rely on the official call for the final interpretation of eligibility, documentation and award value.
