Regulations for the Selection of Excellence Scholarships of the Municipality of Thessaloniki

The excellence will be determined based on the Transcript that the candidates have applied and the attached Certifications of Foreign Languages.

In order to assess the excellence among the candidates, apply the following:

Emphasis is given on the comparison of the Grade Point Average of the Academic Studies, as evidenced by the attached transcript of candidates or education certificates or other official document of their Department, if clearly indicated.

A cumulative comparison of deposited Certificates of Foreign Languages among candidates. These documents will be hierarchised according to the level of language skills and the Certificate of the higher level will be taken into consideration.

Provisions:

In case of a tie of the Grade Point Average of the Academic Studies of two candidates, will be selected the candidate with the most presented Certificates of Foreign Languages.

In case of a tie of the Grade Point Average of the Academic Studies, as well as of the number of the presented Certificates for Foreign Languages, will be selected the candidate of the latter Academic Year.

In case of a tie of the Grade Point Average of the Academic Studies, as well as of the number of the presented Certificates for Foreign Languages and the Academic Year, a draw between the tied candidates will take place.

If  the number candidates that have sent the attached documents in order to prove their excellence is smaller than the available number of scholarships,  the candidates will receive the scholarship in priority. Depending on the available number of scholarships, a draw will take place for the number of candidates who have completed the application form.

There is the possibility of moving the scholarship from one Academic Institution of Thessaloniki to another with the criterion of excellence, depending on the interest.

Depending on the available scholarships, is defined as a minimum the 20% of the total number of scholarships, as runners-up, in case of the cancellation of a scholar, at any time up to the date of the conference, Friday, April 3, 2015.

The selected scholars will be notified no later than three (3) calendar days after this posting. When the organizers of the action receive this notice, they have 48 hours, i.e. 2 days after receipt of the message in order to express their possible inability to accept the scholarship.

In the event that the selected scholars do not reply within the above-mentioned period, they automatically lose their scholarship and the first runner up is updated.

In case that the selected scholars confirm the acceptance of their scholarship and yet unreasonably fail to attend the event and did not successfully receive the Monitoring Certification by the organizers, are likely to be asked to bear the financial burden of the cancellation and everything their scholarship covers.

A reasoned inability to participate and successfully obtain the certificate from the organizers, is proven by the appropriate official documents.
