VIU Scholarships: €25,000 in 2016

VIU strives to promote excellence and diversity in the Globalization Program and to provide a powerful learning experience in which students develop their capacity for critical thinking and creative problem solving.

Each semester scholarships are awarded to talented, motivated students from the 14 member universities in order to support them in completing their study period in Venice, or to foster their graduate and professional studies and careers in new and emerging fields.

VIU publishes yearly four calls for applications for the Internship and Mobility Program and two calls for the Scholarship Program supporting accommodation fees. Approximately 20 students per semester are selected for the internship program, depending on the amount of funds available for scholarships.

This year, €25,000 are available to students of the Globalization Program who wish to:

• apply for Scholarships to support Residency:
