ICUSTA Scholarship for PHD studies
The International Council of Universities in the Spirit of Saint Thomas Aquinas (ICUSTA) has recently approved a multi-year strategic plan that aims, among other purposes, to promote research on topics relevant to the founding purposes of ICUSTA.
Within the framework of the actions planned to achieve this objective, it stands out that of offering financial aid to an academic linked to an ICUSTA university, who has not yet achieved the degree of doctor, and who wants to carry out doctoral studies – in some program doctoral program offered at a university belonging to the network – addressing its research topic in light of the thought of Saint Thomas Aquinas.
The ultimate purpose of this initiative is not only to promote progress in the knowledge of the angelic doctor’s thought, but also to deepen its inexhaustible potential to respond to problems that the human spirit faces today.
