Area and composed by the Vice Rector for Politecnico di Milano’s International
Relations and by the Heads of Schools or their delegates.
5
The ranking will be defined by considering those applying for the Call regulating this assignation and who will ensure to have accepted the outcome of the evaluation, as well as to upload a suitable language certificate, which will need to be verified by the deadline established for each timeframe.
The judging Commission will proceed with its evaluations, by considering parameters such as gender equality, geographic origin, the candidates’ age, and the content of the answers to the motivational questions. In case of parity, the youngest candidate will be prioritised.
Art. 5.1 – Notification of the outcome In regards to the first three timeframes, the outcome of the assignment will be communicated through the email address which the candidate would have provided upon their application of admission to Politecnico di Milano within two months from each timeframe’s closing date.
In regards to the fourth timeframe, the outcome of the assignment will be communicated through the email address which the candidate would have provided upon their application of admission to Politecnico di Milano within three months from the timeframe’s closing date.
Art. 5.2 – Acceptance
The awardees will need to accept the scholarship by paying the administrative fee amounting to approximately 170€ by the deadlines specified in the assignment email, by following the instructions provided by the Student Affairs Unit.

Awardees will, therefore, need to finalise their enrollment on the academic year and in the semester which their scholarship was assigned for by the preestablished deadlines.
Failure enrolling on the academic year and in the semester which the scholarship was assigned will cause the loss of the latter, albeit previously accepted.
