About 100 Libyan students have received Italian government scholarships for the 2026-27 academic year, together worth more than 800,000 euros. The Libya Observer reported the awards on November 1, 2026. Italian ambassador Gianluca Alberini announced the figures at a ceremony for the Farnesina scholarships at his residence in Tripoli. He said Libya had received the highest number of these ministerial scholarships, across three calls for applications.
The same evening honored Libyan teachers who completed a training course the embassy ran with Libyan authorities, part of a project to support Italian language teaching in secondary schools. Alberini also said Italian Cuisine Week will be held in Tripoli on November 20 and 21, with a competition for young Libyans. The winner is to receive a three-week course at the ALMA international school of Italian cuisine in Parma, with travel and lodging covered.
The report is the scholarship count, the teacher certificates, and that prize. It does not list the students' names or say which Italian universities they will attend.
