THE FUND FOR COOPERATION & KNOWLEDGE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PAVIA

Background:

The University of Pavia (UNIPV) and its students decided to create the ‘Fund for Cooperation & Knowledge – in and out of Pavia’. The Fund is financed thanks to the contribution both of the students (2 Euros each) and of the University itself. The Fund is intended to provide scholarships to students from Developing Countries, who wish to study one year at the University of Pavia, and to UNIPV students who would like to spend some months in a Developing Country for studying, researching and/or training.

The Fund and the selection of the students are managed by a Committee composed by students, professors and officers of the University of Pavia, plus a representative of the DGDC, for a total of 15 members. The Committee will select – among the applicants – the students who will receive a scholarship.

Scholarship

The University of Pavia (UNIPV), in order to promote international cooperation with the Developing Countries, offers 2 scholarships of 7.000 Euros each and 4 scholarships of 8.000 Euros each as scholarships to study at the University of Pavia or at the Institute for Advanced Study of Pavia (IUSS) during the academic year 2012-2013. Each scholarship will cover also the expenses for the Visa and for the travel to Italy and back (economy class).

Eligibility

Only the following candidates can apply for a scholarship: only citizens of a Developing Country classified as a low-income economy or as a lower-middle-income economy by the World Bank, and students from a Developing Country who received a scholarship financed through the FC&K for the academic year 2011-2012 (in this case, expenses for VISA, residence permit, and for travel will not be covered).
Only students born on/after the 1st January 1977 can participate.


Deadline: 18 May 2012
