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 Biella 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, 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 (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, but in the course of the following months (most probably November).

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 Biella 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.

COP15 Climate Conference: Denmark skips gifts and educates youth in stead

The Danish Government has decided to establish a 'COP15 Climate
Scholarship' for money saved pursuant to its policy of not giving
gifts to participants at the Climate Conference in Copenhagen later
this year.

At similar international conferences, participants usually receive
gifts and so-called conference-kits with various items from the host
country. At the COP15 in Copenhagen the number of participants is
expected to reach 15.000. As part of its efforts to reduce the
environmental and climate impact of the conference, the government has
decided to discontinue the practice of giving gifts. The DKK 4 million
(app. USD 700.000) hereby saved will instead be spent on climate
scholarships allowing 10-12 candidates from all over the world to
carry out 2-year climate related master's programs at Danish
universities.

"Our 0-gift policy and the COP15 Climate Scholarship are good signals
to send at a conference which requires innovation in terms of the way
we use our resources. Although there is no doubt as to the good
intentions behind giving gifts, we have often experienced how
conference kits end up in garbage bins at conference venues and
hotels. We want break that habit in Copenhagen and spend the money in
a constructive way", says Minister for Development Cooperation, Ulla
Tørnæs.

"The COP15 Climate Scholarship puts a spotlight on Denmark's strong
position in climate related research and the good possibilities for
qualifying yourself at Danish universities. Besides, the scholarship
is in line with the Government's goal to increase the exchange of
students across borders. With this scholarship, we hope to welcome a
group of clever young people from all over the world who will become
highly motivated to make a difference, and furthermore will get an
exhaustive knowledge about Danish technology and research", says
Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation, Helge Sander.
