Students interested in obtaining a scholarship are ranked according to the following:
- Final grade (from 0 to 10) obtained in the doctoral selection process (or Master’s selection process, if the candidate was in a Master’s program and was invited to the Doctoral Program), weight 2;
- Seniority score (from 1 to 10) given by: 10 divided by the maximum duration of the Doctoral Program (45 months), which equals 0.22, multiplied by the total number of months the candidate has been in the program. For calculation purposes, newly admitted students are considered as having completed one month since their enrollment.
- The program’s scholarship committee ranks students according to the formula:[(final grade obtained in the graduate program’s selective process X 2) + (seniority score X 1)] / 3.
In case of a tie between two or more students, the highest grade obtained in the research project presented in the selection process is the first criterion for a tie-breaker. The second criterion is the seniority score.
The rating list of students applying for a scholarship is updated five weekdays after the results of the Doctoral selection process are disclosed (only those who manifested interest are considered), and becomes valid after it’s publication on the bulletin board of the Psychology Graduate Program’s Administrative Office up to the disclosure of a new rating list concerning the following selection process.
