Question juridique clé
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible despite the scholarship being a subsidy.
Solution extraite
The appeal was admissible because the scholarship scheme created a legal entitlement once the statutory conditions were met, so Art. 83 lit. k LTF did not exclude the remedy.
Motifs extraits
The court held that Ticino law made scholarships mandatory where domicile, age and study conditions were fulfilled, and therefore the case was not a discretionary subsidy dispute.
