As part of the “Bocconi4Access to Education” program, the “Bocconi Sport Scholarships” aim to support talented student-athletes by removing, when necessary, socioeconomic barriers that could hinder their access to university education.
This initiative is based on the University's belief that supporting high-level young athletes committed to their personal and professional growth contributes value to the broader community and the country as a whole.
With the “Bocconi Sport Scholarships” the University provides a limited number of students (maximum 10 per year) with tuition waivers (from 60% to 100%, depending on the verified financial situation) and discounted housing at 50% of the full rate.
Students not selected for this benefit due to limited resources will be considered for one of the other available forms of aid.
The “Bocconi4Access to Education” financial aid system is highly structured, the University evaluates each application starting from the highest-level benefit down to the others, aiming to assign the most suitable support based on the applicant’s documented financial condition.
