The Stipend Committee acts on the basis of the AVU Stipend Regulations and has five members. These members are appointed by the rector, and two of them are students. The chair is the Vice-Rector for Educational Affairs. One of the students is appointed by the rector on the basis of a proposal submitted by the Academic Senate.
The term of office of members of the commission is four years. The Stipend Committee is convened by its chair and above all discusses stipends for outstanding academic results and for outstanding research, development and innovation, and artistic or other creative results contributing to the expansion of knowledge. It is mindful of the financial resources allocated of the AVU stipend fund. The administration of matters linked to the operation of the Stipend Committee is a matter for the Academic Studies Department.
