Students whose ISEE (Equivalent Financial Status Indicator) for university study meets requisites and who have obtained all prerequisite academic credits are eligible to apply for an annual scholarship.

Scholarships are assigned only after the allocation of funds by Regione Lombardia and the Italian Ministry of Universities and Research (MUR). Instructions for applying for a scholarship will be provided in a specific announcement.

Merit loans

Academic certification earned outside of Italy must be accompanied by a document certifying its legal validity pursuant to Italian law.

Specifically:

• If the academic certification has been obtained in a European Union member state, you must provide a sworn translation (traduzione asseverata) of the certification into Italian.
• If the academic certification has been obtained in a country outside of the European Union, you must provide a certificate of equivalence of qualification (dichiarazione di valore in loco).

International students and Italians residing abroad must also provide their CV in Italian or accompanied by an Italian translation.

Non-EU residents who are admitted to the course must complete the visa application process by registering on the platform www.universitaly.it and uploading all necessary documents.

Students with physical or learning disabilities are entitled to compensatory measures.

The appropriate certification must be submitted during the application process (see “Admission Process” below).

The course is open to a maximum of 20 participants.

Applicants are admitted to the course after passing a selection process consisting of:

• A written test;
• An interview;
• (Optional) Assessment of a portfolio submitted by the candidate on the day of the written test and discussed during the interview.

The selection process will take place in two sessions, both held in Milan in the Academy facilities at Via Santa Marta 18:

FIRST SESSION

Between May 12 and 16, 2025

The application must be submitted no later then April 30, 2025

SECOND SESSION

Between September 22 and 25, 2025

The application must be submitted no later then September 12, 2025

Those who enroll in and pass the first session will be eligible for a tuition discount. Those who do not pass the first session will have the option of enrolling in the second session but will lose the right to a tuition discount.

The Selection Committee will determine who is eligible for admission to the course, admitting the top candidates. If one or more of these candidates chooses not to attend the course, the next-ranked eligible candidate(s) may be admitted. The Examining Committee’s decisions are final and incontestable. No explanations or justifications of its decisions will be provided.

To apply, you have to register or login at Academy's Admission OnLine Platform (https://iscrizioni.accademialascala.it).

Once you have registered or logged in, the system will ask you to enter your personal data and will propose the Contract Conditions for participation, a document which must be signed and re-attached and which contains important contractual details, such as the right of withdrawal.

Once this step is completed, you will be asked to insert detailed attachments into the course brochure (if you haven't already downloaded it, do so now!)

Then, you will be asked to pay the admissions participation fee, by credit card or by online bank transfer, directly from the registration screen (the banks of the MyBank circuit are accepted: check first that yours is there too before proceeding).

At the end of these steps, a PDF summary of all the data entered will be generated, which must be signed as indicated and reattached.

At this point, registration is complete and goes directly to the Teaching Secretariat.

Good luck!
