2. Rules and Notes on Student Report Scholarships; please read carefully.

Please note that being awarded a scholarship above means that you will be expected to contribute a lot. Accademia Riaci is looking for motivated students who will share their classes at Accademia Riaci, the joy of learning Arts, Design, Crafts, and life in Italy with the whole world in a positive way. We are willing to provide mutual understanding and support to achieve this goal.
If you are awarded a Student Report Scholarship and fail to write your report during the lessons, your un-updated report history will remain on the school’s website. In addition, you will not be able to take the classes for which you were awarded the scholarship. Therefore, if you receive a 10% scholarship and fail to submit a single report, you will forfeit your right to take classes for your last 10% period. If you receive a 5% scholarship and submit only half of the required reports, you will forfeit your right to attend 2.5% of the classes. If you want to take all the classes, you are obliged to return the scholarship you received at the time of enrollment to the school by one month before the end of the course.

Please consider carefully whether you want to do it and whether it suits you before applying. Accademia Riaci is looking for motivated applicants!
