SCHOLARSHIPS
Selection criteria
* Applicants will be selected based on their previous academic career and on their Curriculum Vitae.
Amount of the scholarship
* The gross amount of the Verrès Campus scholarship is 10.000 Euro per year (30.000 Euro for the complete period). The exact net sum is dependent upon the individual tax conditions of each student, which can be verified only upon the arrival of the student.
* The amount of the scholarship will not be increased in case the student will need more time to graduate than indicated.
* The allocation of the scholarship is dependent upon the submission of the original documentation, which must correspond with the documentation attached to the application 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 (residence permit, Italian fiscal code, and bank account in the name of the scholarship recipient), all obtainable upon arrival in Italy.
Requirements to maintain the scholarship
* 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 Verrès Campus scholarship must promptly notify the Politecnico di Torino.
* Payment of the scholarship will be suspended if the academic performance of the recipient does not meet a satisfactory level.
* In case the recipient does not regularly attend the activities at the Verrès Campus, the scholarship will be revoked.
