Bocconi Scholarship for International Undergraduate Students 2017, Italy

Università Bocconi offers need-based scholarships to international students applying to a Bachelor program or a Law Program at Bocconi for the AY 2017-2018. The awarding of the scholarship takes into consideration not only the economic conditions of the students but also their academic profiles.

THE SCHOLARSHIP

The Scholarship provides a full tuition waiver, worth approximately € 11,500.00 per year for a maximum of 3 academic years (for Bachelor programs) or 5 academic years (for the Law program). The renewal of the scholarship is subject to meeting merit criteria.
Scholarship applications must be submitted by the same deadline as that of applicant’s selected Bocconi admission’s round (with the exception of Discover Your Talent applicants); see table below.

For the AY 2017-18 recipients of the Bocconi Scholarship for International Students will not be allowed to give up this award in favour of other kinds of financial aid offered by Bocconi (including the ISU Bocconi Scholarship). They may do so, however, in the following year/s.
