University Loan - SID

University Loan For Merit

Each of our students is eligible to access the “for Merit” loan, in partnership with Intesa San Paolo, which allows them to receive up to €5,000 per year with no strings attached.

To access the loan, it is sufficient to have graduated with a grade higher than 85/100 and to be regularly enrolled in the current Academic Year.
During the 3 years you will receive up to €9,000, for students with residence in the province of Padua, and up to €15,000 for off-campus students rogated in semesterly installments. The sum is tied to a subsidized, fixed interest rate and can be used freely to cover any type of expense.
At the end of the course, a bridging period is activated, free of obligations, for up to 24 months, before beginning to repay the loan.
Once the bridging period is over, repayment, can be made in a lump sum or in installments of up to 30 years.
