Scholarship – The right to study
The right to education is enshrined in Article 34 of the Italian Constitution and is governed by Italian Law Ranked n. 390 of December 2, 1991, implemented by the Decree of the President of the Council of Ministers of April 9, 2001.
The “Right to Education” consists of the provision of scholarships and services offered by IED to support capable and deserving students — even those without financial means — in attending courses aimed at obtaining a First Level Academic Diploma or a Second Level Academic Diploma.
IED, through the Office DSU, provides economic benefits and coordinates actions and service to implement this Right, as required by the Italian Regional (Lombardy) Law no. 33 dated December 13, 2004 (“Regulations on regional interventions financial aid and university study grants”).
