The Roberto Rocca Education Program is now accepting applications for the
2013 Roberto Rocca Fellowships for doctoral studies in selected fields of
engineering.

The Fellowships are open to citizens of Argentina, Colombia,  Brazil,
Indonesia, Mexico, Romania and Venezuela who will enter a Ph.D. program in
2013 or who are already undertaking a Ph.D. at a university outside their
own country. Fellowships are granted to students who will or are pursuing a
Ph.D. in Materials Science, Mechanical, Metallurgical and Petroleum
Engineering and whose research offers potential benefits to the steel
industry.

Fellowships are awarded for a period of two years and may be used for
tuition, fees and living expenses. The award amount will depend on the
candidate's financial need but in general candidates are encouraged to seek
complementary sources of funding. The Program expects to award 12 to 15

Founded in 2005 to promote the study of engineering and the applied
sciences, the Roberto Rocca Education Program is sponsored by the Tenaris,
Ternium and Techint companies. The Program is named in honor of Roberto
Rocca, the late Chairman of the Techint Group. In addition to Fellowships
for Ph.D. studies, the Program also awards Scholarships for undergraduate
