Each semester scholarships are awarded to talented students to contribute to the cost of living in Venice for a semester, to promote excellence and diversity in the Globalization Program.
The scholarships are equivalent to the cost of accommodation in the apartments arranged by VIU (€1,625), but will be paid directly to the students, who may choose to spend it on the accommodation that best suits their needs.
The scholarship recipient is expected to contribute and be actively involved in the following co-curricular activities:
- Tea2B: informal conversations on key topics that involve students, professors and staff taking place every Monday at 5 pm
- Globalization Program plenary workshop
The Globalization Program plenary workshop is an interdisciplinary endeavor involving many of the GP professors. Over several weeks, the professors work with groups of students from their courses on a common topic, approaching it based on their (inter)-disciplinary backgrounds. The workshop takes place on a Friday during the semester, when the groups present their work on the common topic. The presentations may take any form - creativity is encouraged: presentations, video-clips, interviews, debates, theater, music or dance performances.
Eligibility
Any student regularly enrolled in any degree program in a VIU Member University, who wishes to register or is already registered for at least 3 courses in the VIU Globalization Program. (Exchange students of Italian member universities are not eligible.)
Recipients of the KA171 Erasmus+ grants are not eligible to receive the RED scholarship but may apply to participate as a RED Scholar on a voluntary basis.
Selection Criteria
The aim of the scholarship program is to promote excellence and diversity in the Globalization Program.
The selection of the candidates and the award of the scholarships will be based on a ranking. The score achieved by each student will be the result of the sum of the following:
1. Quality of the candidate (40%): The candidate’s interview, CV, and motivation letter will be evaluated.
2. Academic performance (40%): Based on transcripts from the candidate's home university or, if it applies, the previous semester at VIU.
3. Diversity of the candidate (20%): Based on the candidate's home university, study discipline and background with the aim of creating a diverse team of three RED scholars.
