Knowledge of the Italian language, preferably demonstrated by an
international certification
Not having enrolled in a Bachelor of Science course of the Politecnico
di Torino before the 2008/2009 academic year
Not being the recipient of other scholarships, Italian or foreign.
Obtaining a degree at the Politecnico di Torino
To graduate at the Politecnico di Torino, students must attain a total
of 180 credits, including exams and the final dissertation. The time
required to graduate is approximately 6 semesters. However, the
effective duration is also dependent upon each student's capacity.
Note also that the time required for the compulsory Italian course,
which will begin in early September, before classes start, is not
considered in the estimated duration of the program.
Please note that scholarship recipients must attend their course for
its entire length (3 years – 180 credits). Students who have already
attended other university courses can ask for a credit transfer up to
a maximum of 10 credits per year (30 credits in total). Please note
that credits achieved in preparatory courses or in the first
year/second year in systems where preuniversity education lasts 10/11
years can not be taken into account.
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,
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 month.
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.

At the end of the selection process, a provisional list of standings
will be composed with the names of the students who have been awarded
a scholarship and the names of the eligible applicants that may be
awarded a scholarship in the event of one or more renunciations.
The list of standings will be affixed to the Official Register of the
Politecnico di Torino. Beginning from February 29th, 2008 (1st
application period) or May 23rd, 2008 (2nd application period),
information about where and how to access the selection outcomes will
be published on this project website and on the Apply@Polito section

PURPOSES, THE ONLY OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION OF INCLUSION IN THE LIST OF
SELECTIONS AND, FOR STUDENTS WITH THE APPROPRIATE QUALIFICATIONS, THE
ONLY OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION THAT THEY HAVE BEEN AWARDED A SCHOLARSHIP.
An e-mail message will be sent to all scholarship recipients and
eligible applicants summarising the terms for the disbursement of the
scholarship. This message will be sent to the address(es) specified by
the students themselves on the online application form. NEVERTHELESS,
THIS MESSAGE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION OF THE
OUTCOME OF THE SELECTION.
The scholarship awardees and eligible applicants who wish to confirm
their position must take the following steps:
download the scholarship acceptance form which will be published
together with the list of selection outcomes, fill it in and fax it to
the number +39 011 090 6329. Failure to send in the acceptance fax
within the given period will constitute a definitive renunciation and
the scholarship will be reassigned accordingly.
upon arrival in Italy scholarship recipients must hand in the original
documentation, which was previously attached to the online application
form (see the above list), to the Politecnico di Torino. Before
handing in the aforementioned documentation, we recommend that you
make photocopies for yourself. We ask that you not hand in any other
documentation other than that which has been required, and put all the
documentation in a single folder bearing your name, surname and
"Verrès Campus project". We reemphasize that the information given in
the documents must correspond to that attached to the online
application form. Failure to hand in the original documentation within
10 days from the student's arrival according to the above conditions
will result in the non-allocation of the scholarship.
Publication of the final list of standings is foreseen for March 2008
(1st application period) or June 2008 (2nd application period).
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE AFFIXING OF THE LIST OF STANDINGS TO THE OFFICIAL
REGISTER OF THE POLITECNICO DI TORINO WILL BE, FOR ALL INTENTS AND
PURPOSES, THE ONLY OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION OF INCLUSION IN THE LIST OF
SELECTIONS AND, FOR STUDENTS WITH THE APPROPRIATE QUALIFICATIONS, THE
ONLY OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION THAT THEY HAVE BEEN AWARDED A SCHOLARSHIP.
We emphasize that the Politecnico di Torino assumes no responsibility
for the applicant's failure to view the list of standings and/or the
terms for the acceptance of the scholarships as published online and
on the Official Register of the Politecnico.
In all the e-mail messages and the correspondence sent to the
Politecnico following the awarding of the scholarship, the recipient
must clearly specify "Verrès Campus project".
Facilities
The amount of tuition fees for the 2008/2009 academic year is about
1700 Euro. Students from low-income families can be entitled to a
reduction or a waiver of tuition fees. In order to obtain such
benefit, students must provide a declaration from their family about:
the family unit
the financial income
the family property
These declarations must be translated into Italian and certified by
the Italian Embassy or Consulate.
Scholarship recipients, together with the Bachelor of Science course,
will benefit from:
an intensive Italian language course, compulsory and free of charge
advice on lodging facilities (for more information visit the
Accommodation section)
additional services offered to the student community (access to the
Politecnico libraries and computer laboratories, WI-FI (wireless LAN)
, etc.); scholarship recipients will also be entitled to all the
services offered by the regional university student assistance
organisation, Ente regionale per il DIritto allo Studio Universitario
(EDISU Piemonte ) at full fee: student canteen service, cultural and
recreational activities, sports activities, libraries with lending
service, etc. (for more information visit the Campus Facilities
section)
assistance in obtaining an entry visa. For more information consult
the Immigration Requirements section and the websites of the Italian
Embassy or Consulate
assistance by the Stage and Job Placement Office for internship and employment.
Notes
The scholarship does not include accommodation costs, which are thus
totally at the expense of the student.
The Politecnico di Torino does not guarantee any type of accommodation
for Verrès Campus scholarship recipients. For students turning to the
private market to rent an apartment, the initial amount requested for
the cautionary deposit is equal to about three months rent, plus any
fees charged by the real estate agency, if applicable. The approximate
amount of the rent for an apartment shared with other students comes
to about 250 EURO/month per person, and the rent for a small/medium
sized apartment is about 500 EURO/month.
Enrolment at the Politecnico includes insurance coverage for accidents
occurring on the university premises.
Medical insurance for emergencies (First Aid), as required by the law
for non-EU citizens, is 98 EURO per year. Upon their arrival in Italy,
students must pay this amount to INA Assitalia: this is required for
the conversion of the entry visa into a residence permit. For further
information on these matters, see the Health insurance section.
We advise students to go to the Italian Embassy or Consulate to inform
themselves on the necessary requirements to obtain an entry visa in
Italy.
