Student applications
To be eligible, students must satisfy ALL the following criteria by the first day of the program:
- have completed at least 9th grade (or its equivalent);
- be at least 15 years old by the start of the program;
- not yet enrolled as a full-time university student.
Unfortunately, there is no flexibility on these requirements. Students may attend during the summer between high school and college or during a gap year. Students who already attend university are not eligible to apply as students, although they may apply for a counselor position.
PROMYS Italia strives to create an inclusive and welcoming community.
