“GIANFRANCO DE MARTINI” SCHOLARSHIPS
Together we can help young people become who they dream of being! “I’ve always wanted to study to build a better future for myself. It was great to see everyone around me getting involved. They enabled me to go to university and supported me along the way. I hope one day to be able to return the favor!”
This is what Marco tells us, one of the willing and deserving young people who, without the means to attend university, we are helping to achieve a three-year degree with the “Gianfranco De Martini” Scholarships.

We believe that education is the best investment for their future. Education—a right enshrined in the Italian Constitution—ensures that no talent is wasted due to socio-economic difficulties and promotes the creation of opportunities.
The support we provide during the five years of the project – from the fourth year of high school to the bachelor’s degree – acts on three levels:
- Personal development support: to increase self-awareness and self-confidence, define interests and aspirations, and develop soft skills.
- Methodological support: mentoring and tutoring to identify strategies for achieving educational goals and defining a career path.
- Financial support: support for the scholarship recipient to cover university fees, textbooks, teaching materials, educational staff costs, etc.
During the selection process, we look at income to verify the presence of situations of proven socio-economic difficulty. But that’s not all: we also evaluate merit, valuing commitment and academic performance. Another fundamental element is motivation, considered as the desire to continue studying and understanding the value of the offer.
