FINANCIAL AID
The Florence Institute awards financial aid in the form of grants based on need to qualified applicants. The amount of financial aid grants awarded each semester varies with a minimum of 10% of the students receiving grants. Apply early to improve your chances of receiving financial aid.

To be considered for a grant you must:
1) Be qualified for one of the Institute's programs as per the admissions page.
2) Submit either: a) a portfolio or b) an essay:
a. Portfolios should include 3-4 projects (renderings, drawings, art, or models)
b. Academic level students, instead of a portfolio can submit a 150 word essay explaining “Why I wish to study design in Florence”

Requirements for Financial Aid
In order to avoid a reduction in their financial aid award, during the academic year, students are required to carry a “B” average in all classes.

Please note: The Florence Iinstitute does not have any involvement with student loans or scholarships. Students can seek out full scholarships within their own countries via private or government foundations. To assist you in with your scholarship application, our institute can provide you with a letter of tentative acceptance if it would be of help.

Master students who are applying for Financial Aid are required to submit a portfolio of 3-4 projects.

Financial Aid awarded is limited and should be requested as early as possible. Students may also apply for Financial aid after being accepted, but it must applied for at least 20 days before the start of classes.
