• Two instalments: the first instalment is due within 2 weeks from the date of the letter of admission and the second instalment at a date specified within the enrolment letter.

Scholarships

The Global Campus of Human Rights does not provide full scholarships. However, a limited number of scholarships are available for qualified candidates in the form of a partial contribution towards living expenses and/ a tuition waiver.

Eight scholarships are available for qualified candidates. Scholarships include a full tuition waiver and a modest stipend of €2,600 that is delivered in instalments. Please note that scholarship recipients are responsibility for bearing all additional costs associated with the EMA programme and should ensure they have sufficient funds available for their studies. Further information on living costs in Venice can be found at this link.

Two of these scholarships are reserved for qualified candidates who commit to researching issues related to Children’s Rights for their thesis project. Support for these scholarships is provided by the Right Livelihood.

A further scholarship is available for a qualified candidate who commits to researching the topic of Information Technology and Human Rights. This scholarship has been created in memory of Nicola Tonon who was the IT and Web Marketing Coordinator for the Global Campus for 16 years, and who passed away suddenly in 2022.

The allocation of scholarships will be determined by the EMA Executive Committee on the basis of merit of the applications. All candidates who wish to to be considered for scholarships should apply by the 12 February 2024. Applications for scholarships after this date will not be considered.
