Funding that encourages your studies at university and Graduate level, with advantageous conditions. To prepare you confidently for the world of work. After you have completed your studies, you can either pay back the entire amount in your account in one lump sum or you can apply for a Per Merito loan.

Per Merito PerTe is dedicated to students with specific merit requirements. The Loan takes place in three distinct phases: the opening of the credit account, the "bridge period" or "moratorium" during which the student has the opportunity to decide how to repay the sums used with the credit opening, and the loan, where chosen as the Loan repayment method.

StudioSì is the latest instrument promoted by the Ministry of  Education, University and Research ( (MIUR) in agreement with the European Investment Bank (EIB) as part of NOP Research and Innovation and co-financed by the European Social Fund (ESF), which enables university students to take advantage of funding to support their postgraduate tertiary education.

Interested students can apply for a loan of up to 50,000 euros, at zero interest and without personal guarantees or third-party guarantors, which can cover not only university fees but also study-related expenses. Education pathways must be completed by 31 December 2025.
Further information on requirements and how to participate is available on the official page of the initiative on the MIUR website.

Resources will be disbursed through two financial operators: Intesa San Paolo and Gruppo Bancario Cooperativo ICCREA.
