ONAOSI Foundation postgraduate scholarships
We're proud to offer limited National Opera for the Assistance of Italian Health Orphans scholarships for students entering a one-year taught or research Masters.
Application details for 2023/24 will be available soon. Please keep an eye on this page for updates.
The scholarship will be paid directly as a fee waiver. You will need to pay for your own accommodation, living costs and any additional costs.
These scholarships are funded by a generous donation from the ONAOSI Foundation (onaosi.it) based in Perugia, Italy. The Foundation was established to provide aid to the orphans of Italian medical personnel and has since expanded its remit to support undergraduate and postgraduate study.
Mario Torre (Department of Biology) was granted this particular scholarship, and graduated with a Masters in Molecular Medicine in January 2020. Listen to him talk about his university experience:
