Università della Svizzera italiana offers several scholarships for international students in eligible Master’s programs at its Mendrisio campus. The published 2026–27 cycle closed on 30 June 2026.
The scheme covers the Master in Architecture and the 90- or 120-credit Master in History and Theory of Art and Architecture. USI publishes the opportunity by academic year, so it is treated as annual, but the next opening date is not stated.
Benefits & funding

Eligibility
- Applicants must be international students entering or enrolled in the first or second year of an eligible Master’s program at the Mendrisio campus.

- Students in a supplementary semester or year are not eligible.
