Students of the International track receive a financial support for their mobility during the semesters in Trieste and Paris. The amount of this support depends on the yearly allocation of funds and is subject to possible variations. As an example, here are the amounts disbursed last academic year:
For the entire semester in Trieste, a forfait amount of about 1800€. For the semester in Paris, a monthly amount of about 550€ for 5 months (the actual monthly amount depends on the ISEEU family income certificate and ranges from about 450€ to 650€). Additional support for the Paris semester is regularly provided by some institutions in the Paris consortium, on a competitive basis. For the Spring College in the 4th Semester, living and travel expenses are usually fully covered, up to a threshold amount. Furthermore, students of the International track from the developing countries listed here receive an additional monthly grant of about 950€ to cover their expenses in the first 9 months. The contribution is provided starting from the actual arrival of the student at ICTP. Moreover, ICTP also offers a travel grant for a (round trip) flight ticket from the international airport of their home country closest to Trieste, and a temporary accommodation at the ICTP Guest House for 13 nights.
