Tuition, Costs & Financial Aid

One University, Different Academic Pathways

Unicollege applies different tuition and cost structures according to the academic pathway and student status. Degree-seeking students are subject to the tuition framework applicable to their degree level and enrollment category. Visiting students, faculty, and institutional cohorts follow program-specific pricing, which may include tuition, housing, meals, academic services, and student support.

University-to-university agreements may provide tuition waivers, reciprocal exchange arrangements, or individually negotiated institutional terms.

Study Abroad & Visiting Programs

Program-Based Pricing

Study abroad and visiting programs follow a program-based rather than annual tuition model. Costs are established according to the program type, duration, academic structure, housing arrangement, and institutional relationship with the student's home university.

University-to-university agreements may provide tuition-free exchange places, fee-paying participation, independent enrollment, hybrid arrangements, or customized institutional terms.

Under the Semester Abroad model, eligible students from partner universities may participate on a tuition-waiver basis, with the applicable published program cost covering the remaining institutional services. Independent students follow the corresponding tuition and program-cost structure.

Faculty-Led Programs

University to University

Faculty-led programs are developed directly between Unicollege and the partner university, without an intermediary or predetermined package.

Each program is structured around the partner institution's academic objectives, curriculum, duration, faculty model, destination, student profile, and target budget. Academic visits, field experiences, housing, meals, transportation, and additional services may then be incorporated according to the requirements of the program.

Unicollege coordinates the academic and operational framework directly in Italy, allowing programs to be developed across Florence, Mantua, Milan, and Turin within a single institutional relationship. Program costs are established on a customized, generally per-student basis.

Scholarships & Financial Aid

Supporting Access to Higher Education and International Mobility

Scholarship and financial aid structures vary according to the academic pathway.

Degree-Seeking Students

Bachelor's and Master's Degree applicants may be considered for scholarships through the relevant Admissions Office. Awards are made according to the applicable program and may take into account academic achievement, financial circumstances, prior qualifications, and other relevant criteria.

Approximately 15% of Unicollege students currently receive scholarship support, with the University continuing to expand access to institutional financial assistance. Selected Master's and Doctoral programs delivered through international university partnerships may provide scholarships of up to 75% of the applicable program cost.

Study Abroad Students

As a university, Unicollege directly allocates scholarship funding to its international programs as part of its commitment to accessibility and educational equity in international education. Students may also retain financial assistance awarded by their home institution where permitted under that institution's policies. This may include institutional scholarships and, for eligible U.S. students, applicable Title IV federal financial aid and Pell Grant funding. Final eligibility, portability, and disbursement of home-institution aid remain subject to the policies and authorization of the student's home university.

Title IV Continuity Scholarship

The Title IV Continuity Scholarship is available to eligible students enrolled at U.S. institutions participating in Title IV federal financial aid programs. Applicants may request a reduction of between 1% and 40% of the program cost, informed by their existing financial aid circumstances and subject to the applicable review process.
