About the Scholarship Provider:
It is generally agreed that Pavia University is among the oldest educational institutions in existence anywhere in the world. It was established in 825 as a “School of law, rhetoric, and liberal arts” by King Lothair I, and in 1361 it was legally organized as a “Universitas Studiorum” by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV. King Lothair I was the one who established it. The reforms that were implemented at the University of Pavia throughout the course of the 18th century by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria and her son Joseph II contributed to the establishment of the university as one of the most prestigious educational establishments in all of Europe. As a direct result of these alterations, the University of Pavia can now brag about the extraordinary number of famous people who have graduated from it, as well as prominent academicians and winners of the Nobel Prize.
Today, the University of Pavia is a Research University, which encourages innovative cross-disciplinary projects; an Internationalization-driven University, which participates in agreements with esteemed institutions located all over the world; and a Job-oriented University, which develops powerful networks and significant business opportunities.

Community Support: Reach out to local community members, educators, or expatriate groups who might have information or resources to help you access education.
