Bocconi Merit Awards 2026

Bocconi Merit Awards are scholarships offered by Bocconi University in Milan, Italy, to attract high-achieving students from Italy and abroad. The awards are typically linked to admission and are intended for candidates with an excellent academic record applying to eligible degree programmes at the university.

The programme generally supports Bachelor and Master level study at Bocconi. Depending on the specific award cycle, support commonly takes the form of a full or significant tuition fee waiver. Some award categories may also include additional financial support, but the exact benefits can vary by intake and programme.

Bocconi Merit Awards are highly competitive and are usually granted on the basis of academic excellence, overall strength of application, and the admission profile submitted to the university. They are not normally restricted by nationality, making them relevant for both domestic and international applicants. Students must first apply for admission to an eligible Bocconi degree programme and are then considered for merit-based funding according to the university's scholarship procedures.

Applicants should prepare the standard admission materials required by Bocconi, which may include academic transcripts, curriculum details, test scores where applicable, and proof of language proficiency for programmes taught in English. Because scholarship terms can change, candidates should consult Bocconi University's admissions and funding pages for the most current information on eligible programmes, coverage, and application steps.
