One of the goals of Rome International School, as stated in its mission statement, is “to provide a nurturing environment, in which children of all nationalities and faiths can explore and respect their own and each other’s cultural and religious heritage….” One way we are currently putting this goal into practise is by opening our doors to both non-Italian and Italian students, who, through their daily interaction, practice open-mindedness by enjoying and appreciating the diversity of cultures and values found at RIS.   

To promote the growth of our International community and to give promising non-Italian students whose families lack sufficient financial resources, a chance to have a quality international education, the parents of students already enrolled at RIS and the school have decided to begin a new Scholarship Programme.

From the academic year 2010/2011, RIS opened its "Scholarship Fund" Programme initially funded by RIS and its families. Four scholarships will be granted: two for the Primary school and two for the Middle and High school.  As more donors and sponsors hopefully join in, more students will be able to benefit from the annual Scholarship. This Programme is a system of financial assistance which allows for total coverage of tuition fees. The scholarship may be renewed in subsequent school years, provided that the income and merit requirements are met.  It can also be revoked at any time if changes in these requirements occur.

Non-Italian families with a household income not exceeding 50,000 € per year, can apply for one child only, (who should also be a non-Italian citizen).

The following education and language criteria have to be met:
