Orientation

The Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies was established in order to provide talented young people with excellent training, regardless of their economic, social and cultural background. All too often young men and women of talent fail to receive adequate support from their families and decide not to continue with their education and not to enrol with universities. As a matter of fact, being unable to fully nurture merit and to steer the most performing young people towards university is a missed opportunity for generating value for collective society. The Il Talento all’Opera Foundation was established to be at the forefront in this challenge, starting ventures and subsidies for the purpose of promoting merit as a driver for social mobility.

The Foundation works alongside Sant’Anna to strengthen ventures intended to scout talent, specifically focusing on students originating from fragile social and-economic backgrounds.

The Foundation programme includes action facilitating the decision to enrol at university, supporting candidates in dealing with the admissions process, and providing orientation through mentoring by the team of students at the School and residential internships at the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies, so that every talent may find an environment in which it can flourish. 

How you can support us

The Foundation formulates a programme of talent-orientation activities every year. Participants, supports and donors can support individual actions and contribute to promoting new ventures, throughout Italy.
