Calabria university funding and student support

Overview

The university landscape in Calabria is undergoing developments regarding financial support and student services. Initially, state universities in the region received an increase in funding via the Ordinary Financing Fund, with Minister Anna Maria Bernini signing a decree for over 199.3 million euros. Concurrently, the regional government launched ‘Reddito di merito’, a 15 million euro merit-based income program. This program has faced criticism from regional councilor Elisa Scutellà, who suggested that strict eligibility criteria regarding grades and graduation timelines might exclude many students.

Following these financial developments, the University of Calabria (Unical) approved a three-year integrated plan specifically aimed at supporting its international student population. Led by Rector Gianluigi Geco, the plan establishes structured services for orientation, logistical assistance, linguistic activities, and intercultural mediation to assist the approximately 1,000 foreign students currently enrolled.
