LOWERING CFU REQUIREMENTS AND OTHER NEWS IN THE CALL FOR SCHOLARSHIP
A few months ago we told you about the proposals submitted to the region during the March technical roundtable. With this post we want to inform you with respect to what has been approved and the latest news. You will find feedback on these news in the Call for Proposals that should be published on Tuesday afternoon, July 16. Regarding the clause wanted by Sciretti and the Region that will allow the eviction of students during the Universiadi, we refer you to previous posts.
ULTERIORE SEMESTRE CFU REDUCTION: Starting with the title, we had a staggering victory on merit requirements this year. Two years ago, we already reduced in CDU for courses that could achieve less than 60 CFUs during the year in subsequent years. For the additional semester, however, we did not consider that thesis credits, are achievable only in the case of graduation and therefore cannot be used to fulfill the additional semester requirements. We have therefore obtained that, for the additional semester application, those credits are not considered, resulting in a CONSISTENT REDUCTION for many courses (especially LM and single-cycle LM), which you can see in Attachment A2 of the Announcement. We also worked with EDISU offices to have the CFU reduction also recognized for courses in Medicine, Dentistry, Medicine & Surgery, Medical Biotechnology (LM) and Artificial intelligence for biomedicine (LM) [UNITO] and Physics of Complex Systems [POLITO] that had been unfairly excluded.
INCREASED PART-TIME AMOUNTS: We noticed how, as of 2017/18, the scholarship amounts for part-time enrolleesɜ had remained the same. Therefore, we asked to create a single part-time bracket with increased amounts. Unfortunately, although the proposal was accepted, the increase was less than what we asked for. Nevertheless, it turns out to be an important victory for allɜ lɜ part-time students.
INCREASED FULL-TIME AMOUNTS: On this issue we have good and bad news. The amounts will increase ONLY FOR THE FIRST 2 BANDS, thus leaving the amounts for bands 3 and 4 unchanged despite our request to include them and adjust their amounts. The Region, for at least 2 years now, has merely been doing the bare minimum, not accepting our request to also adjust for inflation the grants of those with an ISEE > € 17,537.51.
INCREASED ISEE/ISPE THRESHOLDS: Tying in with the previous point, here the Piedmont Region's willingness not to invest in the Right to Education becomes clear. Although we have submitted 2 times to the Region the request to increase the maximum ISEE/ISPE thresholds, the latter decided to ignore this request, using as an excuse the presence of the elections and the desire not to “commit” the next junta (which in fact is practically identical to the previous one). Once again, the institutions lack regard for the growing needs of us college students who are dealing with ever-increasing expenses and rents.
SPORT REFUND: We have obtained that eligible scholarship students will also be able to apply for it, with priority (in the unfortunate event that they reappear). We have also worked with the offices and, from next year, the procedure will allow receipts to be submitted for a longer period as well as include lɜ students suspended in the December ranking who are eligibleɜ/victorsɜ in the April ranking (who could not apply for it this year).
DOMICILE IN THE CITY OF THE INTERNSHIP: We have requested and obtained that lɜ out-of-town students can submit a contract related to the city where they are doing their internship and/or thesis in the company for the purpose of recognition of out-of-town status.
