ATTENTION - PAGE CURRENTLY BEING UPDATED - detailed information regarding scholarships for the 2027/28 academic year will be available shortly.
The “Bocconi Sport Scholarships” aim to support talented student-athletes by removing, where necessary, any socio-economic barriers that could prevent them from accessing university education.
This initiative stems from the University's belief that supporting high-level young athletes who are eager to commit their professional growth creates value for the community and for the country as a whole.
Though the “Bocconi Sport Scholarships”, the University grants a limited number of students (maximum 10 beneficiaries per year) exemption from university fees and contributions (between 60% and 100% depending on their verified financial situation) and the allocation of accommodation at a preferential rate of 50% of the full price.
Students who are in financial need may, in addition to applying for the BSS, also apply for the benefits available under the "Bocconi4Access to Education" program and, if they meet the relevant requirements, receive a benefit based on the financial situation of their household. If a student receives a positive outcome for both B4A and BSS, they may choose which of the two benefits to accept definitively.
For detailed information on the opportunities available, requirements, and application deadlines, applicants are invited to consult the pages of the website dedicated to the "Bocconi4Access to Education" program.
(*) If a student is awarded, through the Bocconi4Access program, a need-based fee waiver exceeding 60%, the exemption provided under the Bocconi Sport Scholarship will be adjusted to match the percentage of the need-based benefit awarded.
