Private language schools in Italy offer bursaries to the students of the Istituto Italiano di Cultura who would like to attend a language course in Italy.
Each bursary covers a percentage of the fee for a short-term group course. Students will cover the remaining costs for the language course, registration fees, flights, accommodation and upkeep.
When can I apply?
Applications for bursaries can be submitted during the following periods:
If you wish to avail of a bursary for the period January – May, you need to apply between October and December.
If you wish to avail of a bursary for the period June – December, you need to apply between March and May.
After enrolling in a term of language classes with the IIC, students can apply for a bursary within two consecutive application periods; however, each student can only be assigned one bursary every 12 months.
Please note that your formal request for a bursary needs to be approved and confirmed at least 30 days before your expected date of arrival in Italy.
