• Students with disability (need to be documented): +10 points

Selection Criteria

The selection of students - as well as the procedure for awarding them a grant - must be fair, transparent, coherent and documented and shall be made available to all parties involved in the selection process.

Selections are carried out by ranking the points from the highest to the lowest, taking into account the evaluation criteria and weighted scores announced by HEIs among the students who fulfil the minimum requirements.
