Student Loan “Per Merito” from Intesa Sanpaolo

Ferrari Fashion School students can count on financial support designed by Intesa Sanpaolo to enable them to expand their skills. “Per Merito” is a loan that any student residing in Italy can obtain on the sole condition of being in good standing with their chosen course of study and requires no collateral. The loan will be disbursed starting in June of the first year, following the achievement of at least 20 educational credits.

“By Merit” allows you to meet tuition fees, purchase of educational materials, housing expenses, and anything else you need to have peace of mind about your course of study. And students have no obligation to report these expenses.

At the end of the studies, a 24-month “bridge period” is activated, during which the student will not receive any more disbursements, but will not yet have to repay anything.
Repayment takes place over a maximum period of 30 years; in case of early repayment there are no additional costs.
The rate is fixed and defined at the time of underwriting.

All interest is paid back by Intesa Sanpaolo to the Fund for Impact, the fund created for groups with difficulties in accessing credit and education.
For contract terms and conditions consult the Information Sheets available in Branches and on the bank’s website. The granting of loans is subject to the bank’s approval.

PLEASE NOTE:

Students who wish to apply for the Merit Loan must possess residency in Italy.
Once the bank confirms the release of the loan, disbursements are made in semi-annual tranches and not concurrently with the Ferrari Fashion School maturities.
Ferrari Fashion School does not have any other arrangements with the bank other than those listed in the Merit Loan Guide.

Advertising message with promotional purpose. “Per Merito” is a credit product dedicated to students attending Universities in Italy and abroad, or Postgraduate Training Institutions.

Career service

Through the Career Service, students have the opportunity to connect with companies and institutional partners, including the organization of Career Days and support in the search for companies in the industry, factories, and showrooms for both curricular and extra-curricular activities in Italy and abroad.

Internship is an educational experience that a student undergoes at a facility affiliated with the Ferrari Fashion School (organization or company) to gain direct knowledge of the working world. The internship is optional and may include credit recognition (maximum 6 ECTS). The internship aims to “create moments of alternation between study and work within the training processes and facilitate career choices through direct knowledge of the working world.” The purposes of the internship can be diverse: orientational, primarily aiming to acquaint students with the reality of the working world through direct contact; formative, allowing to deepen, verify, and expand the learning received from the course of study. For the Academy, it is an opportunity to verify the coherence between the educational paths of the study courses and the potential occupational outcomes that students aspire to. From the company’s perspective, the internship constitutes an advantageous opportunity to exchange with young bearers of up-to-date scientific knowledge and also an opportunity to train “young talents” to possibly integrate into their staff on a permanent basis.

The internship does not represent an employment relationship. It should be the result of the meeting between the student’s expressed interest in the discipline in which they intend to carry out the internship, the availability of the Tutor to identify and plan the training activity to be carried out, and the possibility of carrying out this activity in a company. The relationship between the Academy and the “company” is formalized through an agreement to which a Training Project must be attached.

To activate an internship, it is necessary for the facility hosting the student to have an active agreement with Ferrari Fashion School. If there is no existing agreement between the hosting facility and the Academy, it can be drawn up by completing the agreement, also at the suggestion of the students, by sending an email to the Placement Office – placement@ferrarifashionschool.com.
