Premio Lorenzo Santo

Why

During the academic year 2022/23, The Fondazione Lorenzo Santo will launch the 1st edition of its high school students focused prize. The Fondazione aims to encourage the study of English and STEM topics and the development of an entrepreneurial mindset in youth.

During the months of May 2023 students from any Italian region will compete on TestGorilla, an online platform, to excel in English and Mathematics solving SAT like tests (SATs are the standard tests for the admission to US colleges). Contestants will also enjoy some behavioural tests and will have the opportunity to write essays around the topic of entrepreneurship and personal aspirations

The contest will run on the TestGorilla platform. There will be 3 steps

1. An initial test of English (B1 level) and Math alongside one test aiming to measure your attention to details and two behavioural tests (DISC and MBTI)

2. The top 20% of the applicants pool will proceed to the test #2 that includes C1 level English, advanced math and 2 essays around personal development and entrepreneurship

3. The top 10 candidated will progress to the last step, the 1:1 interview with any of the board members, possibly live.
