What Are the Costs and Financial Aid Options at The Umbra Institute?

Updated

The Umbra Institute in Perugia, Italy, lists program fees, scholarships, and financial aid resources on its website, but does not publish specific dollar amounts on the pages available here. To get exact figures, you need to visit the Tuition & Fees page directly. What the site does confirm is the structure: there are program fees, a scholarship and financial aid section, work-study grants, a named scholarship (the Anna Girolimetti Scholarship), and a cost estimator tool for custom programs.

What Cost Categories Exist

Based on the site's navigation and program structure, costs at Umbra fall into these buckets:

  • Program fees — listed under "Tuition & Fees" and "Program Fees" for prospective students.
  • Housing — Umbra arranges student housing in Perugia; housing costs are typically bundled into or listed alongside program fees.
  • Academic program costs — vary by program type (semester, summer, academic year, custom/faculty-led).
  • Custom program costs — advisors and faculty can use the "Custom Programs Cost Estimator" to build a budget for group programs.

The site does not publish per-program dollar amounts in the available page evidence, so treat any figure you see elsewhere as unverified until you check the official Tuition & Fees page.

Scholarships and Financial Aid

Umbra's website lists a dedicated "Scholarships & FinAid" section under Tuition & Fees. Specific items named in the site navigation include:

Aid type What it is
Anna Girolimetti Scholarship A named scholarship, presumably with its own eligibility criteria
Work-Study Grants Grants tied to work, likely on-campus or community roles
Scholarships & FinAid The umbrella section covering all aid options

The site also references "Financial Aid & Scholarships" under the prospective student dashboard. Whether US federal financial aid applies, and whether international students are eligible for each scholarship, is not stated in the available evidence — you would need to contact the institute or check the specific scholarship pages.

How to Get Exact Numbers

  1. Go to the Tuition & Fees page on umbra.org.
  2. Check the specific program page for your term (semester, summer session, academic year) — fees often differ by program.
  3. Review the Scholarships & FinAid section for application requirements and deadlines.
  4. If you are an advisor or faculty member planning a custom program, use the Custom Programs Cost Estimator.
  5. Contact the institute directly with unanswered questions: the Perugia office is at Piazza IV Novembre 23, Perugia, Italy 06123, tel. +39 075-775-0101; the US office is in Orlando, Florida, tel. +1 407-917-6699.

What to Watch For

  • No published prices here. The available page evidence contains no dollar amounts, so do not assume a cost range from this article.
  • Program type matters. A summer session, a semester, and a custom faculty-led program will have different fee structures.
  • Aid eligibility is not specified. The site names scholarships and work-study grants but does not state who qualifies — confirm before relying on any aid to cover costs.
  • Housing may be separate or bundled. Check whether your program fee includes housing or whether it is billed separately.
