For very many years LAO has pursued a policy of awarding many scholarships, both to Italian and foreign students. Scholarships can be total (cover 100% of the fees), or 50%.

Starting in 2021 has been established a scholarship named after Maria Cristina Bergesio, who was for many years our teacher for contemporary jewellery history.

Beginning in 2022, scholarships have been established in collaboration with “THE PLACE OF WONDERS (TPOW).” The Corporate Social Responsibility project was created by the Babini family, historic owners of the iconic boutique hotel THE PLACE Florence. TPOW intends to promote the growth of the culture of manufacturing arts and the training of new recruits of professionals in the sector, accompanying and supporting them in their employment, so as not to disperse the handicraft culture and the character of uniqueness that have made Florence the capital of beauty and know-how. TPOW will award 3 scholarships of at least two years’ duration.
