PhD scholarships can be with own research topic or with predefined research topic.
The gross annual amount of the scholarship is usually € 15,343.28, but the Politecnico di Torino has  chosen to further enhance and promote the value of PhD programmes, increasing the amount of the scholarships to € 18.854,52 which amounts to a net monthly rate of € 1386.

All candidates compete for scholarships with own research topic, unless they explicitly waive their right to receive them (if available).
PhD programmes under Ministerial Decrees No. 351 and 352  have a predefined research topic (the characteristics of these scholarships are detailed in Annexes 5 and 6 of the call).

The scholarships with predefined research topic are associated to particular research topics for which specific skills are required. Those applicants interested in one or more scholarships shall carefully verify which the field of research and the competences are required, as specified in the scholarship descriptive sheet and contact the relevant scientific referee.

The choice of the scholarship (or to waive the right to receive any) shall be made via Apply from 5 days before the beginning of the interviews for the selected PhD programme, up to 12.00 pm (midday - CET) of the day before the beginning of the interview session.
