Costs & Financial Aid

Everything about the money, in one place: what a year at ITI costs, the scholarships and aid that carry it, exactly how to pay, and who to ask.

The short version

What a year costs.

ITI receives no state funding. Every accepted student automatically receives the Standard ITI Scholarship, which reduces tuition fees. The figures below outline tuition and living costs. If finances are a concern, please contact us before deciding whether to apply.

12 000 €

Tuition / year

300 €

Registration / year

from 3 000 €

Housing / year

~4 700 €

Other expenses / year

The approximate 4 700 € budget covers food and personal items, insurance, a visa if required, and initial expenses. These are itemized below, not additional to this estimate. Refundable deposits are separate.

Regular tuition is 25 000 €; the Standard ITI Scholarship brings it to 12 000 € per academic year for every accepted student (Studium Generale: 12 500 €).

Every line item

All costs, one list.

Go through the list and pick out what applies to you; not every item does. Non-EU students should plan for insurance and visa; EU students usually skip both.

Financial aid

Help beyond the standard scholarship.

Every accepted student receives it automatically. It reduces annual tuition from 25 000 € to 12 000 €.

Further scholarships: need & merit

Awarded each year for European and STL 1 / STB 4 students, reducing tuition by a further 6 000 to 11 000 €.

50% for a spouse

When both spouses study at ITI and the first pays the full 12 000 €, the second may receive a 50 percent tuition reduction.

Room stipends

In particular cases, ITI offers room stipends tied to service on campus.

US private loans

US students can use Sallie Mae private loans. US federal loans are not available for 2026–2027.

Ask before you apply

The aid that fits your situation is best worked out in a conversation: admissions@iti.ac.at

A shared life

All students contribute two hours of service each week for the upkeep of chapel, living areas, library, and common spaces. It is part of the shared life of the university, and part of what keeps ITI affordable.

How to pay

Two ways to pay. Pick yours.

Paying by bank transfer in euros

Bank transfer

Transfer tuition and fees directly to ITI’s account. Always give your full name and program as the reference.
