SCHOLARSHIPS FOR PALESTINE 

The University of Siena considers the promotion of values ​​such as dialogue, justice and peace as part of the university's mission. The news arriving daily from Israel and Palestine since last October is astounding. The reported number of innocent victims and the scale of the destruction strike us deeply. As a tangible sign of our solidarity towards a population so heavily and unjustly affected, Unisi has decided to allocate scholarships to Palestinian students for enrollment in one of the degree courses offered at the University of Siena.

Deadline: Application can be submitted from 9th to 31th July.

 

 

SCHOLARSHIPS FOR CRISIS AREAS

The University of Siena considers the promotion of values ​​such as dialogue, justice and peace as part of the university's mission. Also this year the University of Siena, within the Just Pece Unisi Project, is providing scholarships to students coming from Crisis Areas.
