Scholarships

The Global Campus of Human Rights does not provide full scholarships. However, there are a small number of scholarships available for qualified candidates. Scholarships include a full tuition waiver and a modest stipend of €2,600 as a contribution toward living expenses. This stipend is paid in instalments.

Nine scholarships in total are available for qualified candidates. 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 reserved 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 remaining six scholarships are open to all qualified candidates regardless of their research interest.

Please note that scholarship recipients are responsible for bearing all additional costs associated with the EMA programme and they should ensure they have sufficient funds available for their studies. Further information on living costs in Venice can be found at this link.

The allocation of scholarships is determined by the EMA Executive Committee on the basis of merit. Candidates who wish to apply for these scholarships should specify it in the online application form, to be submitted by 2 February 2025.
