Scholarships

The CIHC offers a small number of partial scholarships (no more than fifty percent) to selected students. To be eligible, you must be a citizen of a developing nation and be currently working within the humanitarian field. In order to be considered for a scholarship, you must indicate so on your application.

Scholarships do not cover the cost of transportation. Scholarships cannot be deferred or transferred to other courses.

Additional scholarships may be available if you are an Italian citizen currently working within the humanitarian field, you may be eligible for a scholarship from the Fondazione Marco Besso. This foundation generally grants 2 to 3 scholarships a year. These scholarships are decided upon once a year. If you would like to be considered for a scholarship, you must apply by September for the forthcoming year (i.e. scholarships for 2011 courses were decided upon at the end of 2010). To apply, please submit an application and please contact us to specify that you are seeking a scholarship from the Fondazione Marco Besso.

Scholarships from the Fondazione Marco Besso have already been awarded for 2012.
