Bocconi International Awards (Italy)
About this scholarship
The Bocconi International Awards are the flagship merit scholarships for international undergraduate students at Bocconi University in Milan, one of Europe’s leading universities for economics, management, and finance. They are designed to bring outstanding non-Italian students to Bocconi’s bachelor’s programmes, and they are assessed as part of the admission application.
Each award is a full tuition and fees waiver, worth roughly 14,000 to 16,000 euros a year, renewable across the three-year bachelor’s degree subject to meeting yearly merit thresholds. The award can also stack with Bocconi’s separate need-based support for living costs where a student is eligible, making it possible to study in Milan with little or no tuition burden.
Eligibility is open to international (non-Italian) applicants to a Bocconi bachelor’s programme who have an outstanding academic record and admissions test profile (SAT, ACT, or the Bocconi test) and who apply for the award within the admission application. Applying in an early admission round gives the best chance, and decisions are communicated with or shortly after admission; you then confirm enrolment to activate the waiver. For high-achieving international students, the Bocconi International Awards are a flagship route to a funded undergraduate education in Italy.
