Confederazione Veneziana sees the
financial support of deserving university students as a primary
objective.
The Scheme aims to provide a modest level of financial support
to deserving university students who are facing unexpected
financial difficulties.
In all cases, the student will be asked to provide details
of his/her financial situation, any other applications made,
and to provide references. In most cases the student will
be invited to a confidential discussion with a member of the
Awarding Committee before any firm decisions are taken.
The number of bursaries awarded each year will be at the absolute
discretion of the Awarding Committee and will depend on the
actual financial situation of the Fund.
ELIGIBILITY: - candidates must be university students,
currently enrolled at academic institutions in the Venices*.
Academic institutions in other European* countries
may be considered at the discretion of the Trustees.
(*) For the purpose of this
scheme:
1) the Venices encompass the current italian Regions
of Venezia Tridentina-Sud Tirol/Alto Adige, Venezia Euganea,
