Introduction to the Cattolica Africa Scholarship Program
Applications are now open for the Cattolica Africa Scholarship Program 2024/2026. The Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (UCSC) in Italy is providing an excellent opportunity for African students who wish to pursue their master’s degree in selected programs for the academic year 2024/2026.
The Cattolica Africa Scholarship program is open to candidates who are citizens of African countries, hold a bachelor’s degree, possess outstanding academic records, and demonstrate high levels of motivation and commitment to their studies. This scholarship aims to offer financial support to deserving candidates and enable them to achieve academic excellence in their chosen field of study.
Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, as part of its mission to foster relationships with developing countries, has developed a special program for students from the African continent. This program will enable students to study for undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs taught in English at UCSC’s Milan, Piacenza, and Cremona campuses.
The Cattolica Africa Scholarship Program offers a tuition waiver of €5540 per year. However, students will still be responsible for their living expenses; hence, the Cattolica Africa Program is not a program through which full scholarships can be obtained.
