Uni.ON is an initiative promoted by UniCredit Foundation in collaboration with the Don Gino Rigoldi Foundation, aimed at encouraging and supporting young students facing socio-economic difficulties in their transition from high school to university. The program supports enrollment in science and economics degree courses at public universities in Italy. The total investment in this project by UniCredit Foundation amounts to one and a half million euros.

The project is based on the belief that merit and motivation to pursue further studies should be rewarded, and that those who wish to study should be given the opportunity to do so.

To counter the phenomenon of the so-called “Lost Einsteins” — young people with high potential who, due to initial inequalities, have no opportunity to fulfill it — these scholarships aim to serve as a means of social redemption.

Moreover, enrollment in university programs in STEM disciplines remains generally low (accounting for only 27% of university students), despite the employment rate among graduates in these fields being over 85%.

Encouraging university careers in such disciplines means offering greater opportunities for social mobility, thanks to easier access to the job market and the possibility of pursuing highly skilled and better-paid professions.

In this first edition, “Uni-ON – Light Up Your Future” (www.union-borsedistudio.it) is aimed at students in their final year of high school in Lombardy and Campania. For the Campania region, the project benefits from the support of the social enterprise Le Nuvole.
