The Pro Universitate Don Bosco ETS Association has published the announcement for the "Matteo Mancia" Scholarship for the academic year 2025/2026.
The amount will fully cover the cost of university fees for the academic year 2025/2026.
Students already enrolled or planning to enroll in the Faculty of Educational Sciences (in Social Pedagogy and/or Psychology) at the Pontifical Salesian University of Rome are eligible to apply for the scholarships. The announcement particularly considers socio-economic difficulties, merit, and any disability conditions.
Among the requirements that will be evaluated, as expressed in the announcement, significant importance is given to the candidate's commitment to social, educational-sports activities, and attention to others.
Matteo, 22 years old, was a student of the Faculty of Educational Sciences, in his third year of Social Pedagogy. Always active and involved in all university initiatives, his distinctive traits include his smile, availability, and enthusiasm in living in dialogue with everyone. Immediately after enrolling at UPS, he became involved in University Pastoral Care, as a member of the sports team, and for two years, he coached the children of the Don Bosco Nuovo Salario Sports Association at the Parish of Santa Maria della Speranza, adjacent to UPS.
The application, complete with the required documents, must be received by the President of the Association no later than April 30, 2025.
The announcement of the Scholarship award will be published by May 31, 2025, on the Association's website and communicated directly to the beneficiary.
