Information Session: Rita Levi Montalcini Scholarship from the Dompé Foundation

Established in 2020, the Dompé Foundation is committed to supporting the university education of talented young individuals in STEM fields, ultimately contributing to the advancement of scientific knowledge and the exploration of new research areas, particularly in the life sciences. More specifically, it aims at breaking down financial barriers to higher education for aspiring scientists and researchers who possess talent and determination, but lack the necessary economic resources to pursue undergraduate or postgraduate studies in STEM disciplines.

On Monday, December 1, staff from Weill Cornell Medicine and the Cornell Graduate School in Ithaca will be hosting an information session with the Dompé Foundation about the Rita Levi Montalcini scholarship program, which financially supports students of all nationalities already admitted to a master’s, Ph.D. or post-doctoral program in neuroscience and/or neurobiology at a US university.

Since 2021, the Rita Levi Montalcini Scholarship – named for the1986 Nobel laureate who co-discovered nerve growth factor – has supported over 50 scholars enrolled at U.S. universities with 2-3 years of supplemental funding. The application deadline is January 31, 2026 and this info session will include information from the foundation staff as well as a panel of scientists who have been supported by this scholarship.

Please complete the Zoom registration link in order to attend this information session. Among other materials, applicants will be asked to submit a Europass format curriculum vitae, short abstract on their current research, and two-page statement of motivation.
