The Ministry of University and Research has increased the resources allocated to scholarships for Sardinian university students for the 2026/2027 academic year. The funding amounts to €34.2 million, as per the allocation of the State Supplementary Fund (FIS), approved by the State-Regions Conference upon a proposal from Minister Anna Maria Bernini. For Sardinia, this represents a 25.7% increase compared to the previous academic year, with the allocation increasing from €27.2 million to €34.2 million.
Nationally, the Ministry of Education, University and Research (MUR) has allocated €845.8 million, 19.5% more than last year and 175% more than in 2020. " The right to education must translate into concrete opportunities for all young people . The additional resources we are allocating to Sardinia represent an investment to ensure students have the opportunity to undertake and continue their university studies, without economic conditions becoming an obstacle. Our goal is to ensure that the future of every student is determined by their abilities and aspirations, not their family's means," stated Minister Bernini. The increased funding aims to consolidate the results achieved in the right to education. In the 2024/2025 academic year, 99.8% of eligible students nationwide received scholarships, for a total of 299,618 beneficiaries. The funding from the Ministry of Education, University and Research (MUR) is supplemented by regional resources, amounting to at least 40% of the state quota allocated.
