Description
The DIGISOC Scholarship Programme supports students enrolled in the second year of the Joint Master’s Programme in Digital Society, Social Innovation and Global Citizenship during 2026/2027. Administered by the University of Innsbruck and partially financed through the European Commission-funded EURIDICE project, it helps meet tuition, summer school, short-term mobility and living costs.
The scholarship combines educational assistance with social support to reduce barriers to international education. It prioritizes students with disabilities, migrants or refugees, students from low-income families, and students living in remote areas, while promoting diversity, fairness and gender balance in higher education. The University of Innsbruck awards and pays the scholarships directly, in its own name and under its own responsibility.
