Scholarship Rosana Pistolese

“Fashion and Costume can be considered two expressions of the same art. We like to think of them as also part of Human’s Culture and Nature. This is probably why society has always communicated its style through this Art as its meaningful and symbolic character. Custom and costume become the combination of the everchanging world of Fashion and the endless evolution of human life, marking the level of sensitivity of each era and culture. This represents the tastes and so the habits, the possibilities, the needs. It is linked to technology, production process, and to a wide range of interests: the shape that shows the essence of not only its aesthetical aspect but also of the regulatory, legal and language system and of the rules and values. Fashion is intended as dialectic, a proposal of reformation of Costume. This dialectic has given life to Accademia di Costume e di Moda“.

Rosana Pistolese

The spirit that animates the Academy today is the same as that of the Founder, whose vision foresaw an entire artistic, cultural, and industrial system. The purpose of the Academy is to promote the culture of merit and talent, and in this perspective, the Rosana Pistolese Award for Excellence was established.

The Award is granted exclusively where merit and academic excellence are evident and agreed upon by the faculty.

The award, reserved for current students, consists of a full tuition scholarship (the enrollment fee remains the responsibility of the student) for one academic year of one of the Academy’s First Level Academic Diplomas (three-year courses).

The award, assigned by resolution of the Academic Council, can be given to students who:

• have completed the first or second year of the course and are up to date with their exams;
• have an average grade of not less than 28/30;
• have demonstrated a particular vocation and passion in pursuing their goals.

For the purpose of awarding the prize, all students who, by July 31st, have been verified by the academic office as meeting the specified criteria will be considered. Students are not required to submit their own candidacy. In case of a tie, priority will be given to the lower ISEE bracket. The pool of eligible students for the scholarship will be reviewed by the academic council, which will conduct further merit evaluations and determine the final allocation.

The potential winner of the scholarship will be announced by September 30, with the Award applicable to the academic year starting from the following October 1.
