This program is open to both external candidates, particularly international applicants, and students who completed their bachelor degree within the institution.
This scheme aims to provide financial stability to allow winners to focus fully on their studies and get involved in extracurricular projects, whether in sports, associations, or entrepreneurship. Applications are evaluated based on both prior academic excellence and extracurricular or research achievements.
