ONAOSI Foundation Scholarship
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.
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 at our 2020 Winter Graduation (from 58 minutes and 57 seconds):
Open to students from Italy only.
- Applicants must have applied to the University of York for admission to a one-year taught or research Masters programme at the University of York for admission in September/October 2023.

Application deadline: Monday 19 June 2023, 11.59pm BST
The final decision on the award of the scholarships will be made by 24 July 2023.
- The scholarships are for one year of study and for students beginning their study at the start of the academic year 2023/24.
- Successful students will be responsible for the remaining costs of their studies, including travel between home and York, accommodation and day-to-day living expenses. Any additional programme fees (for example for pre-sessional English language programmes) will also be payable by the student.
I will be forever grateful for the help I have received throughout the years from the ONAOSI Foundation. Through this scholarship, I was able to fully focus on my Master without being held back by financial worries.
