For the 2022 intake, in addition to the EMJMD scholarships detailed above, the InterMaths Consortium will offer a so-called Consortium Scholarship to a (TBD) number of eligible students who won't be awarded an EMJMD scholarship.
The Consortium Scholarships will grant the students partial waiver of the participations costs, as detailed in the chart.
Please note that participation costs include the tuition fees, full insurance coverage and any other mandatory costs related to student participation in the programme. However, they do not include accommodation, living, travelling costs, the cost of equipment or books or the sports centres.
at your earliest convenience in order to make sure that Consortium scholarships are still available by the time you apply and to avoid delays with pre-departure practicalities.
The Consortium will not accept applications submitted after September 30, 2022.
Reference letters for candidates submitting their application after March 2, 2022, will be accepted only if they are submitted by the referees within 15 days after the candidate has submitted their application.
Selection procedure
Please note that you won't be charged any fee to take part in the whole application and selection process.
In the period 3 March – 14 April 2022 the Evaluation Committee will evaluate all the applications successfully submitted by 1 pm 2 March 2022, and will draw up an Absolute Ranking List. Please note that this is the only ranking list that will be used for the awarding of EMJMD scholarhips. Such a list may be used for other funding opportunities at the University of L'Aquila.
Selected students will receive notification and will have to send confirmation of acceptance within 3 days from notification.
After the publication of the Absolute Ranking List, the Evaluation Committee will periodically evaluate all the applications submitted after 1 pm 2 March 2022, and will periodically publish lists of candidates eligible for admission to the Programme and for the award of Consortium scholarships. Note that those lists will NOT be used for the awarding of EMJMD scholarhips.
The Evaluation Committee will then meet again in mid-August to finalize the pre-enrollments and to remove from the list the students who will not have certified the accomplishment of their bachelor's degree (or equivalent).
