The foundation will sponsor up to three students each year, but only two concurrently.

The students are expected to attend every class and be model citizens.

The student is encouraged to contact the foundation to get the latest information and help in the application process.


 * It is quite possible while in Seattle that the student will make contacts with companies that may offer employment.  In the event the student accepts, he is required to reimburse the foundation the cost of the airfare. After all, the foundation's goal is to have more "brains" in southern Italy, not to cause a "brain drain"
