Scholarships for European students
The Faculty of Computer Science at the Free University of Bozen- Bolzano (FUB),
in Italy (at the heart of the Dolomites mountains in South-Tyrol), is offering
the European Masters Program in Computational Logic as part of its Master of
Science in Computer Science offer (Laurea Specialistica). The European Masters
Program in Computational Logic is an international distributed Master of Science
course, in cooperation with the computer science departments in the following
universities:
- Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy
- Technische Universitaet Dresden, Germany
- Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal
- Technische Universitaet Wien, Austria
- Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, Spain
This program, completely in English, involves studying one year at the Free
University of Bozen-Bolzano, and completing the second year with a stay in one
of the partner universities. After this, the student will obtain, together with
the European degree, two Master of Science degrees: the Laurea Specialistica
degree from the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, with legal-value in Italy, and
the respective Master of Science degree from the visited university, with legal
value in its country.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax

financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny.
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
