SCHOLARSHIP COMPETITION

The Pontifical Institute of Christian Archaeology and the Pontifical
Commission of Sacred Archaeology offer an annual award of 5.200,00 euros
(4.000,00 for residents of the Roman province) for qualified applicants,
no older than 35 years of age. The scholarship may be renewed for two
subsequent years of study at the Institute, thereby allowing the student
to attend the continuing second and third years of specialization, during
which time the end-of-year examinations are regularly passed. Proficiency
in the Italian language is required, as well as a graduate degree or
equivalent diploma (Maitrises Lettres, Histoire, Histoire de l'Art et
Archéologie, Master of the Arts, etc.), as well as any title that can
attest to the specific aptitudes of the candidate. An "undergraduate" or
"abbreviated" degree is insufficient; furthermore, the applicant’s degree
must have been received at least four years after graduation from his or
her secondary school.
All applicants are required to submit (before April 15 of the year prior
to instruction at the Institute) the following to the Rector of the
Pontifical Institute of Christian Archaeology with an attached cover
letter:
a) Document such as birth certificate including the following information:
place and date of birth, residence, nationality.
b) Transcript including grades received in each course, as well as all
examination scores.
c) Copy of the degree thesis and other original works (edited or not).
d) Transcript indicating all the languages which the candidate knows or
has studied (proficiency in Italian is required; Latin and Greek are also
indispensable for reading literary and epigraphic sources).
e) Letters of recommendation from at least one university professor, under
whom the candidate has worked or works, or has completed some study
activity or research.
f) Any documentation indicating the candidate's activity in the field of
Christian archaeology (i.e. scholarships, excavations, congresses...).
g) Six passport size photos.
Applications that do not contain all required documents or that arrive
later than April 15 will not be considered.
Photocopies of degrees, although not validated, are acceptable.
Documentation will be returned to all candidates after review.
The council of professors at the Pontifical Institute of Christian
Archaeology will review all applications and notify the winner. Within 15
days of notification, the winner must accept the established norms: that
he or she will not seek any other form of fixed remuneration during the
duration of the scholarship. Furthermore, the student is expected to
complete all requirements according to the program at the Institute.
Assistance at all lectures is obligatory for all subjects. In addition to
assisting regularly at all lectures within the course of specialization,
the winner is expected to actively participate in the life at the
Institute: library, photo archives, publications, guided visits, special
courses, cataloguing, etc. and in the institutional activities of the
Commission.
The payment of the scholarship will take place each month, from November
to June, in the amount of 650,00 euros (500,00 euros for residents of the
Roman province).
