University of Pavia (UNIPV) Scholarships for Developing Countries

Overview

The University of Pavia (UNIPV), in order to promote international cooperation with the Developing Countries, offers 51 monthly instalments of 1.000 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 2011-2012. Each scholarship will cover also the expenses for the Visa and for the travel to Italy and back (economy class).

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

The scholarships are designed for students coming from a Developing Country (preferably from

Countries classified as Low-income economies and Lower-middle-income economies by the World Bank; see http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-classifications/country-and-lending-groups#Low_income) and for Developing Countries students who received a scholarship financed through the FC&K for the academic year 2010-2011 (in this case, expenses for VISA and for travel will not be covered).
