Eligibility Criteria for University of Trento 2025 Scholarship Supplements for PhD Students

Students who have been awarded a PhD scholarship and, starting from the 38th cycle, PhD students who have not been offered a scholarship can apply for a scholarship supplement. On the other hand, this opportunity is not given to the beneficiaries of scholarships or financial support in the framework of mobility programmes (article 9, paragraph 6, of Ministerial Decree 226/2021).

Scholarship supplements are offered for stays abroad taking place before the end of the last year of the doctorate (students who are about to take the final exam are not eligible).

Periods of study abroad must be at least one month and:

1. not more than 18 months for PhD students enrolled up to the 37th cycle;
2. not more than 12 months (18 months for cotutelle programmes, under a specific agreement) for PhD students enrolled since the 38th cycle.

Benefits of University of Trento 2025 Scholarship Supplements for PhD Students

The amount of the supplement is calculated on the basis of the number of days spent abroad, certified by a declaration of the foreign institution where the study and/or research activity was carried out.

The scholarship supplement for stays abroad is paid at the end of the period of stay, except in the case of advance requests, and is paid apart from the scholarship.

How to Apply

To apply for a scholarship supplement, you must submit:

1. the scholarship supplement request form;
2. the authorization form signed by your coordinator (if you are going to spend not more than 6 months abroad);
3. the authorizing decision of the faculty board (if you are going to spend more than 6 months abroad).

The forms must be sent or submitted to the PhD and higher education office responsible for your programme.

If you are awarded a PhD scholarship, you must pay your social security contributions to "gestione separata" INPS (the Italian national institute for social security), pursuant to article 2, paragraph 26, of Law 335/95, as amended. Therefore, PhD students who do not hold a scholarship who apply for a supplement must first register with "gestione separata" INPS.
