Call for Applications: 2025/26 Bocconi Graduate merit Awards for Study in Italy

Bocconi Graduate merit Awards

The Bocconi Graduate merit Awards are for students enrolled for first year of a Msc program in the academic year 2025-26. The awards include a 100% waiver on the Bocconi ordinary academic tuition and fees. Bocconi University is committed to making its superior level of higher education available to outstanding students. For the provision of these Awards, Bocconi University commits its own resources as well as generous donations from private donors, Alumni, individuals and foundations. Merit Awards will be made available for first year Graduate applicants for the 2025-2026 academic year based on their academic standing. The Merit Award includes a full tuition and fees waiver.

Eligible students

Academic profiles considered to be amongst the top applicants (International, Italian and Bocconi) will be considered for a Merit Award based on the admission’s application submitted to Bocconi University. A separate application will not be required. The Bocconi Merit Award evaluation will primarily be based on the candidate’s academic achievement. In addition to academic achievement, the complete dossier provided to the Admissions office will be evaluated.

The Selection of awardees will be carried out by a Committee, nominated by the Rector, including the Dean of the Graduate School and the Dean for International Affairs, whose decisions about numbers, amounts and recipients is final and unquestionable. The number of awards to applicants will not be equally divided amongst the different rounds. The majority of awards will be allocated – for each category of students (International, Italian, and Bocconi candidates) – in the first relevant rounds: the final percentage of awarding for each round is at the discretion of the Committee.

Awarded students will need to follow the procedure indicated in the admission results and therefore complete the online scholarship acceptance procedure within the enrollment deadline. Students will have to upload a copy of their updated CV that might be shared with the Fundraising Organizational Unit, in order to facilitate possible contacts with the donors. During the academic year, the Merit Award, indeed, might be converted (by the end of September 2025) into a named scholarship. Bocconi Merit Awardees might be contacted by donors of this project and/or staff members from the University Fundraising Organizational Unit for all the information relating to the named scholarship, its possible advantages and for the participation in academic and extra-academic activities.
