Eligibility & conditions

Open to incoming first-year international students applying to any English-taught Master's programme — this is on top of PoliMi's separate income-based ISEE-Parificato tuition scale already in this database, not a replacement for it. Renewing into your second year requires hitting a GPA-times-credits threshold (1,000 points for Platinum, 700 for the other tiers) by a set date. A non-refundable administrative fee of roughly €170 applies regardless of which tier you get.

Deadline & how to apply

Application window ran 15 Oct-15 Dec 2025 (noon Italian time) for the 2026/27 intake, open only to students who had already applied during the Early Bird admissions round (1 Oct-1 Dec 2025) — this is a separate scholarship-specific application on top of your programme application, with its own tighter deadline.
