Both are regional scholarship bodies in Italy. DSU (Diritto allo Studio Universitario) is the generic name; ER.GO is specifically the Emilia-Romagna body (covering Bologna, Modena, Parma). Different Italian regions have their own DSU equivalents with slightly different rules.

An equivalent economic assessment may be required when household finances are abroad. The university or scholarship call specifies the household, income and asset documents, reference years, translation and legalisation rules, and accepted assessor. Some bodies assess foreign finances directly. Do not assume every CAF, Indian intermediary or apostille is accepted.

Usually there is a separate application or assessment, but the current award call controls. Scholarship deadlines can fall before admission or enrolment is completed. Check this track while applying to universities; do not wait for an offer unless the call tells you to.

Dates differ by scheme and intake. For 2026–27, MAECI closed 26 March, IYT closed 11 May, and ER.GO scholarship applications closed 24 August 2026. Other regions have separate calls. Our Scholarships page links to the official dated sources; prepare income and asset documents before your deadline.

Some awards combine fee relief, money and services, subject to the current call. Check what is covered, award compatibility, ranking, payment dates and renewal credits. Accommodation may depend on availability. Keep enough funds for costs due before any award is paid; an application or eligible ranking does not guarantee complete coverage.
