The University of Bologna participates in Erasmus+ as a host institution, offering incoming mobility scholarships under Action 2 (International Credit Mobility) for students from non-EU partner countries. Awards cover a monthly Erasmus grant (typically €700–€850/month) for 5–6 month study exchanges at Unibo. Palestine-based universities with bilateral Erasmus+ agreements with Unibo enable Palestinian students to apply through their home institution.

Unifi has opened the call to identify the students who will receive the scholarships: in total, ten students will be selected, eight of whom will receive scholarships for first level - bachelor’s degree programmes and two for single cycle master’s degree programmes. In addition, five one‑year scholarships will be awarded to researchers. According to the agreement signed by the partners of the initiative, the scholarships will be awarded through a dedicated selection process: female and male students, as well as researchers with Palestinian citizenship who meet specific requirements, will be eligible to apply.

All non-EU international students at the University of Bologna may apply for a tuition fee reduction based on financial need, assessed through the ISEE Parificato process. Reductions range from 50% to full exemption. Combined with the DSU grant, many Palestinian and MENA students can study at Unibo with minimal or zero tuition fees. The application is separate from the DSU grant and applies to the Unibo fees directly.

About the Fund The Dr. Samir Tuma Endowed Scholarship Fund provides scholarships to support students pursuing careers in medicine, uplifting the next generation of physicians to achieve their dreams and make contributions to the medical field. Donate to this fund Dr. Samir Tuma’s Story This fund was established by Dr. Samir Tuma , an internationally recognized physician, researcher and philanthropist. Dr. Tuma is a trailblazer in the field of nephrology, dedicating his life to advancing kidney care. Born and raised in Akka, Palestine, Dr. Tuma excelled in school, displaying the unique qualities of a future physician from a young age. He attributes his success to a scholarship he received as a student, which allowed him to continue his education. That financial support planted the seed of his commitment: if he ever had the means to support students, he would. Accomplishments in Medicine After receiving his medical degree from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Dr. Samir Tuma obtained a nephrology professorship at the University of Haifa. His work earned him a prestigious researcher award in 1974, which led to an invitation to an international congress of nephrology in Italy. There, he connected with leaders in the nephrology field, opening doors to opportunities in Los Angeles and, eventually, Houston, where he settled with his wife Grace. Over his career, he held critical roles at and contributed to institutions such as Park Plaza Hospital (where he served as the Academic Chief of Nephrology and the Chairman of the Board for Institutional Review), Hermann Methodist Hospital, United Memorial Medical Care-Houston, Baylor University, the University of Texas and the Association of Healthcare Management. At the time of his retirement in 2017 after over 50 years in the field, DaVita Kidney Care, where Dr. Tuma had served as the Medical Director, honored his contributions in the field by naming a competitive national award after him—the Tuma Innovation Prize in Nephrology, providing medals of honor and grants to young physicians exploring innovative solutions in nephrology. In 2024, Houston Methodist Hospital recognized his impact by naming the academic chair in nephrology after him, establishing an endowed fund to support future academic and clinical research in the field. Commitment to Giving Back Dr. Samir Tuma founded the Houston chapter of the Arab American Medical Association (AAMA) in 1979 and co-founded the National Arab American Medical Association (NAAMA) to bring Arab American physicians and medical students together with a shared mission of mentorship, professional development, and community service. He is the co-founder of the prestigious The Ben Qurrah Award for Excellence in Medicine, which is granted biannually to the best Arab physician in the world. Having faced challenges securing housing while he was a young medical student in Jerusalem, Dr. Tuma collaborated with Rice University to build student dormitories to provide housing for e
