http://www.esteri.it/MAE/EN/Ministero/Servizi/Stranieri/Opportunita/BorseStudio_stranieri.htm?LANG=EN

For other useful information check periodically this page dedicated to foreign students.
The non-observance of those rules and regulations will invalidate the bursary.
12. Entry Visa in Italy
All bursary-holders must arrive in Italy with an entry visa for study purposes issued by the Italian diplomatic mission and valid for the entire duration of the bursary. Exemptions from visa requirements include European Union citizens and the citizens of countries with which Italy has bilateral agreements on such matters. Upon arrival in Italy bursary-holders must go, within eight (8) days, to the Questura (Police) of the town or city where they will be living during their studies. They should apply at the Questura for a residence permit for study reasons. In the case of arrival in Italy before the bursary start date, the bursary-holder will have to apply for the residence permit according to the instructions of the Questura.
13. Travel to Italy and back
Bursaries do not usually cover airfares or other travel expenses. Italian diplomatic missions will inform bursary-holders of any exceptions.
14. Bursary payments
Payment of bursaries will take place on a three-months basis and normally during the quarter of reference by bank transfer to an Italian bank or postal account in the name of the bursaryholder, who holds the responsibility for opening the account and transmitting its details to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Rome, Office VII of the DGSP.
For the academic year 2013-2014, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has signed a Convention with several Italian Universities (Politecnico di Milano, Politecnico di Torino, Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia, Università Bocconi, Università degli studi di Torino, Università degli studi di Milano, Università degli studi di Roma Tor Vergata, Università per stranieri di Perugia, Università per stranieri di Siena, Università per stranieri "Dante Alighieri" di Reggio Calabria) according to which, among other facilitations, all bursary payments will be made directly to the students by the University itself with a shortened and simplified procedure.
15. Health and accident insurance
For the sole period of the bursary granted by the Italian government, foreign bursary-holders are covered by an insurance policy that covers eventual expenses incurred as a result of illness and/or accident. Residence permits for study during periods not included in the duration of the bursary will be issued by the Questura only to foreign students with health insurance coverage. Therefore, bursary-holders who arrive in Italy before the start date of the bursary or that need to stay on after its expiration, if they are non-EU citizens (i.e. do not have a T.E.A.M., E111 or E128 health insurance card from their home country), will have to take out health insurance at their own expense.
16. Enrolment fee exemptions
Foreign holders of Italian government bursaries enrolled in First Level Degree Courses (Corsi di Laurea di Primo Livello) Second Level Degree Courses (Laurea Magistrale), Schools of Specialisation (Scuole di Specializzazione) (with the exception of medical studies) and research doctorates (Dottorati di ricerca) are exempt from university enrolment fees (ref: D.P.C.M. 09/04/2001).
Students enrolled in individual courses, professional training, art and music courses, Level I and II Masters courses, will be required to pay related enrolment fees.
17. Bursary renewal
Foreign students or Italians Residing Abroad (IREs) holding bursaries may apply for renewal for the continuation or completion of a multi-year course of study (Corsi di Laurea, Scuole di Specializzazione, Dottorati di Ricerca). The procedures and timeframes for applicants wishing to renew a bursary are the same as for all other new applicants. Bursary-holders requesting the first renewal will have to have passed at least two exams in the preceding year. Subsequent renewals depend on passing all the exams included in the study plan for the preceding academic years and two in the current academic year at the deadline for bursary renewal application. Renewals may be accorded only for a number of years not exceeding the legal length of course of study. Bursary-holders that have passed the age limit (See above, point 6) may not apply for renewal.
