Human resources that can advance industry and technology are critical to a country’s economic success. Yet in too many countries the need for those resources is not being met as fewer young people choose to study engineering and the applied sciences.

The Roberto Rocca Education Program seeks to address this problem by providing scholarships, for study at the undergraduate level, and fellowships, for Ph.D. studies, to talented students in engineering and the applied sciences in selected countries. The program reflects the long-standing commitment of the late Roberto Rocca and the sponsoring companies to supporting education at all levels in countries where the sponsoring companies have a major presence.

The program’s fellowship and scholarship components alike are focused on supporting students in disciplines that include materials science as well as mechanical, chemical and electrical engineering.

Both scholarships and fellowships are awarded on the basis of the student’s academic and professional accomplishments, leadership potential and commitment to the economic and industrial advancement of his or her home country. The student’s financial need is also taken into account in awarding most scholarships and fellowships.El Programa Educativo Roberto Rocca ofrece becas de postgrado a graduados universitarios excepcionales de Argentina, Brasil, Colombia, Indonesia, México, Rumania y Venezuela, a fin de ayudarlos a financiar estudios de doctorado en áreas específicas que incluyen la Ciencia de los Materiales, Ingeniería Mecánica, Química, Eléctrica y de Petróleo (Requisitos), en una universidad fuera del país de origen del estudiante.

Cada año el Programa otorga entre 12 y 15 nuevas Becas de Postgrado. Los ganadores de las becas de postgrado son seleccionados por el Comité Científico del Programa integrado por directivos de las compañías auspiciantes.

Cada ganador de la Beca de Postgrado Roberto Rocca recibe hasta 50 mil USD por año durante dos años para cubrir los costos de la matrícula, las cuotas y los gastos de mantenimiento. Las becas de postgrado se podrán renovar hasta por dos años adicionales, con previa aprobación del Programa Educativo Roberto Rocca.

El período de aplicación de dos meses para las Becas de Postgrado Roberto Rocca abre a mediados de Octubre de cada año.
