	FAQs</h2>

	1. Do I need IELTS for MAECI Scholarships?&nbsp; 

	If you&#39;re applying for programs in English, you&#39;ll usually need IELTS or TOEFL. For those in Italian, a B2 level Italian proficiency certificate (like CILS or CELI) is often required. Some universities might accept proof of English proficiency if your Bachelor&#39;s was taught entirely in English, but check your program&#39;s specific requirements.

	2. Can I apply for a Bachelor&#39;s degree with the MAECI Scholarship?

	Most MAECI scholarships are mainly for Master&#39;s, PhD, AFAM, and research programs. Scholarships for Bachelor&#39;s degrees are often limited to specific students, like those from Italian high schools abroad or certain countries in Africa. Always look at the official application details for more on undergrad eligibility.

	3. Do I need an admission letter from an Italian university before applying for the scholarship? 

	For PhD and Research projects, you usually need an admission or invitation letter from an Italian supervisor or institution before applying. For Master&#39;s and AFAM, it&rsquo;s recommended to apply for admission around the same time. Some sources say you might not need the admission letter for the initial application, but you&#39;ll need to get into a recognized Italian university after you&#39;re selected.

	4. What documents need to be attested in Pakistan? 

	You&#39;ll generally need to get your academic documents (like transcripts and degrees) attested by the relevant authorities in Pakistan. This includes IBCC for matric/intermediate, HEC for university degrees, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). If your documents aren&rsquo;t in English or Italian, it&#39;s a good idea to have them translated by a recognized service.

	5. Is there an application fee for the MAECI Scholarship?

	No, you typically don&#39;t need to pay an application fee for the MAECI Scholarship.

	6. How long does the scholarship last?&nbsp; 

	The duration of the scholarship can change based on the program, but it&#39;s usually for 6 or 9 months in an academic year and can be renewed if you&#39;re making good progress.

	7. When can I apply for MAECI Scholarships?

	The application period usually starts in April or May and ends in May or June each year. For example, the deadline for the 2025-2026 academic year was around mid-May 2025. Make sure to check the Study in Italy portal and the Italian Embassy in Islamabad for the exact dates.

	8. What do I need to show for scholarship renewal?

	To renew your scholarship, you&#39;ll generally need to show that you&rsquo;re making satisfactory academic progress, which might mean earning a set number of ECTS credits (like 15+ CFU) or getting a positive review from your academic supervisor.
