Giulia Mereu Scholarship
8.3.1
The Giulia Mereu Scholarship is awarded annually to a student in the
LLM in International Human Rights Law at the University of Essex. This
Scholarship has been established by the family and friends of Giulia
Mereu who lost her life at the age of 26, in 1996, while monitoring
human rights violations in the former Yugoslavia. She had been an
Intern with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for
Human Rights and was serving as a Civil Affairs Officer with the
United Nations Transitional Administration for Eastern Slavonia,
Baranja and Western Sirmium when the tragedy occurred. The aim of the
Scholarship is to enable those who might otherwise not be able to
study the discipline of human rights to do so and to ensure that
Giulia Mereu's ideals live on. This scholarship, instituted in 1997,
covers tuition fees for the academic year as well as a modest
allowance to enable the recipient to undertake a one-month internship
with a human rights organisation.
8.3.2
The Scholarship will be awarded by the Senate on the recommendation of
the Director of the LLM in International Human Rights Law, to a
student of the University of Essex based on merit and financial need
irrespective of national origin.
