by Cattolica Africa Scholarship Program 2024/2026: Italy’s Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (UCSC) offers masters scholarships for African students to study for selected programs for 2024/2026 academic year through the Cattolica Africa Scholarship
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.
Through the Cattolica Africa Scholarship, all accepted applicants will be offered tuition fee reductions (see the chart below). 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.
