EDISU Piemonte eligibility question (foreign Master’s but enrolling in normal Laurea Magistrale)
Hello everyone,
I have a specific situation regarding EDISU Piemonte scholarship eligibility and I would like to ask for real experiences or reliable information.
I am an international student and I have been admitted to a Laurea Magistrale (Master’s degree) for 2026/2027 based ONLY on my Bachelor’s degree. My program is a normal 2-year Master’s with no shortening, no credit transfer, and no recognition of previous studies.
However, I also hold a Master’s degree from my home country that was not used for admission, not recognized, and has no effect on my study plan in Italy.
My concern comes from Article 3(1)(4) of the EDISU Piemonte bando, which mentions that students who already hold a Master’s degree may be ineligible.
I contacted EDISU directly to clarify my case. I explained everything (Bachelor-based admission, and that i hold a Master's degree from my country), and their reply was:
>
They did NOT explicitly confirm eligibility or ineligibility.
So my questions are:
- Does having a foreign Master’s usually means EDISU eligibility ?
- Are there students in similar situations who still received the scholarship?
- How strictly is Article 3(1)(4) applied to foreign degrees?
My financial situation is fully eligible for DSU (low-income family), and I don't think i would be able to study without support.
Any serious advice or real experiences would be appreciated.
Thank you.
