Selection criteria

Applicants will be selected on the basis of their previous academic career and of their Curriculum Vitae.

Amount of the scholarship

■ The gross amount of the scholarship is 6.000 Euro per year for the complete period (1 year).
■ The amount of the scholarship will not be increased in case the student benefits from an internship extension.
■ The allocation of the scholarship is dependent upon the submission, within 10 days from the arrival in Italy of the student, of the original documentation, which must correspond with the documentation attached to the online form (see the “Selection outcomes” section below).
■ Payment of the scholarship occurs periodically. The first instalment is dependent upon the possession of the relevant documentation (enrollment certification, residence permit, Italian fiscal code, and bank account in the name of the scholarship recipient), all obtainable upon arrival in Italy; for this reason, the first instalment is not paid at the moment of arrival at the Politecnico di Torino (September 2010), but at the end of October 2010.
■ Given that it is not possible to combine the benefits received from more than one scholarship, students who are assigned another study grant while receiving the Compagnia di San Paolo - Politecnico scholarship must promptly notify the Politecnico di Torino.
■ Payment of the scholarship will be suspended if the attendance of the recipient does not meet the requirements of the rules of the Specializing Master that will be handed over before the course start.
