*The Associazione Italo Americana FVG / American Corner Trieste* 
<https://aia-fvg.blogspot.com/2022/01/about-us.html> informs the public 
of the *RISE <https://www.risefortheworld.org/> Scholarship Program. 
**RISE 
<https://www.risefortheworld.org/>** (*https://www.risefortheworld.org 
<https://www.risefortheworld.org/news>)**is a *Schmidt Futures* 
<https://schmidtfutures.com/> and *Rhodes Trust* 
<https://www.rhodeshouse.ox.ac.uk/> initiative.  Schmidt Futures is the 
foundation of***Wendy Schmidt* -  winner of the *Barcolana 2022 *and her 
husband Eric Schmidt.

"Rise" is searching for brilliant, underserved young people and supports 
them as they work to serve others.

The program starts at *ages 15–17* and offers *Global Winners (100 every 
year) *access to *benefits that last a lifetime*, including need-based 
scholarships, a fully-funded residential experience, mentorship, career 
development opportunities, funding, and more.

Rise is committed to building a diverse and inclusive community that 
reflects a broad range of backgrounds and experiences. They are looking 
for hidden brilliance, in whatever form it takes, wherever it is in the 
world. From high school classrooms, to refugee camps, to science fairs, 
we believe that brilliance is equally distributed, but opportunity is not.

Today’s generation of young people confront climate change; lack of 
access to healthy food and safe water; educational setbacks due to 
COVID-19; and racial, gender, and other inequality. At the same time, we 
have better tools than ever to solve these problems. We need a new 
generation of leaders that can deal with the growing complexity of the 
world – and that can use the power of new tools and technologies to 
solve our greatest challenges.

Applications for the next class opened in October 2022. It is essential 
to apply ASAP in order to participate in the Challenge Project. For more
