The Francesco Morelli Foundation, IED, and Accademia Galli seek to encourage and celebrate students involved in voluntary activities, promoting awareness of inclusion, environmental, economic, and social sustainability topics. With this aim, they are granting 40 study grants, each valued at Euro 4,000, to partially offset tuition costs for three-year and post-graduate courses in the domains of Design, Fashion, Visual Arts, Communication, and Restoration.
Projects will be assessed by a panel comprising the Sustainability Hub Team, in addition to department heads and teachers from the schools of Design, Fashion, Visual Arts, Communication, and Restoration, assigning a score from 0 to 5 based on the following criteria:
- Consistency with the theme
- Originality and perceptiveness of the idea and proposal
- Genuine and tangible commitment to environmental sustainability
- Project efficacy
Applicants whose projects receive a score of 12 or above will be invited to interview, in which the following criteria will be scored from 0 to 5:
- Candidate motivation;
- Intellectual vivacity and personal interests;
- Communication skills.
The total points achieved by the candidates in both assessments will determine the final ranking.
