The Società Finanziaria Meccanica was established in 1948 by the Italian Institute for Industrial Reconstruction (IRI), with a mission to manage companies in the mechanic and building industry. While Finmeccanica changed organizationally several times in the course of time, it never betrayed its industrial vocation. Following a history of both successful and difficult moments, Finmeccanica is today focused on high technology: it has become the first Italian company with a global dimension in aerospace, defence and security sectors; it is one of the world leading operators in electronics for defence and helicopter industries; it is the European leader in satellite and space services, provided with consolidated energy and transport expertise.

The Fulbright Program was launched in 1946, in the aftermath of the Second World War, to promote peace through cultural exchanges between the U.S. and the other countries in the world. In Italy, the program was established two years later, in 1948; since then, over 7.000 scholars crossed the Ocean and succeeded with their work in the field of the Arts, Politics, Public Administration and Academia. The Program promotes study, research and teaching in the U.S. through the award of 130-140 scholarships every year.

Hence it is my firm motive to study my LL.M (second degree in law).

    Though I am interested & able to learn I can’t do this because of my incapacity to pay for the program as I am from Ethiopia which is one from the least developed countries. As a result of this I am forced to turn my face to the international scholarship programs both for my learning as well as living expenses. So I want yours Scholarship Administrator consideration to that effect by stretching its hands to the question I posed. . So, please if you can, inform me the requirements or eligibility criteria’s for such scholarship that I have requested, dates when to be opened for application, and any tasks that I am expected to fulfill to be eligible for it.
