MERIT AND SUPPORT SCHOLARSHIPS

Saint Louis Scholarships are partial tuition fee waivers ranging from 250 to 1,500 euros for each year of the course (for full-time attendance). They are intended only for those enrolled in first- and second-level academic courses.

Facilities for the first year of an academic course are awarded to those with an Isee of less than €22,000 and meet a merit criterion differentiated by level:

  • For students from Saint Louis pre-academic courses: the final exam average must be 7.50 or higher. A penalty of 0.50 on the average is considered for each year of debit matter;
  • For students who have not taken pre-academic courses, the average of the admission tests must be 26/30 or higher. A penalty of 1 point on the average is considered for each year of debit matter.

For the assignment or confirmation of partial fee waivers for the second academic year , the Isee criterion of less than €22,000 always applies, and the student must have earned by the September session at least 50 CFA with a weighted average of 26/30 or higher.

For the award or confirmation of partial fee waivers for the third academic year , the Isee criterion of less than €22,000 always applies, and the student must have earned all 60 CFAs related to the first academic year and at least 50 CFAs related to the second academic year by the September session with an overall weighted average of 26/30 or higher.

Saint Louis scholarships are not available for any off-course years.

INFORMATION ON TUITION AND FEES

Given the increase in the number of international students and the consequent demand for support in the search for housing, Saint Louis has expanded its agreements with specialized Agencies, flanking the service already offered by StuRent with that of UniPlaces, which features one of the largest databases of offers in Rome in the sector, and developing an agreement with it that results in a discount on rates reserved for its students.

  • Sending specific informational material by email, months before expected arrival, containing all procedures, possibilities, possible critical issues, obtaining necessary documents, and introducing the city of Rome and the Institute: International Student’s Guide, Accommodations in Rome

Saint Louis does not have its own ESN office, but invites its incoming and outgoing students to join the network, explaining its benefits and possibilities.
