Excellence Awards

The 15 best students for each year of course will be selected in descending order of single-module GPA converted into a score out of 110 as of 10 August 2024.

In order to specifically enhance the number of credits earned by students, the selection criterion for Excellence Award recipients stipulates that an additional 0.05 points is added to the single-module GPA converted into a score out of 110 as described above for each credit earned by the student on top of the minimum required credit threshold.

Students meeting the abovementioned requirements will be automatically evaluated by the Fees, Funding and Housing Office together with the appointed Scholarship Committe in September 2022 based on their weighted GPA as of 10 August 2022. Awards will be assigned while funds are available.

Awardees will be informed by the end of October and will benefit from a full tuition waiver for the academic year of assignment.

The first installment-advance payment already paid to complete enrollment in the academic year will be refunded by January to the bank account indicated in the student's Punto Blu.

The benefit for the academic year 2022-2023 will be included in the student's financial situation, which can be viewed at the Punto Blu (> administrative area> Fees, Funding and Housing) ONLY after verification by the Fees, Funding and Housing Office of the regular enrollment for the academic year 2022-2023.

For this reason, students who in the academic year 2022-2023 will be "registered with reserve" (or have enrollment subject to reserve) will not be able to view in the system the benefit assigned for the academic year 2022-2023 and will not be able to receive a refund of the first installment paid (advance payment) for 2022-2023 until the reserve is lifted.

An automatic renewal of the award for the following academic year is NOT foreseen.

Nevertheless, students who have been awarded for a.y. 2022-2023 may be taken into consideration for a merit-based financial aid for the following year 2023-2024.

The provisions above constitute official publication of the regulations concerning the renewal of the “Excellence Awards ” benefit for assignees in the a.y. 2022-2023.

The Excellence Award will be
revoked in the following cases:

> acceptance
and/or award of an equal or larger benefit in Bocconi for the same academic year; it is specified in this
regard that in case the student should subsequently lose the larger benefit, the
Excellence Award can never be reinstated;

> verifications carried out by the Fees, Funding and Housing Office reveal false declarations made by the student for the assignment of the award: the revocation shall take effect starting from the moment in which the illicit behavior took place and shall entail the full payment of due tuition and fees starting from the academic year in which the student benefited from the Excellence Award following false declarations (articles 71 and 75 of Italian D.P.R. 445/2000);

> disciplinary
sanctions imposed by Bocconi University: in this case, the revocation of the
benefit will start from the day the disciplinary sanction is imposed. Students
whose award is revoked will be required to pay any tuition and fees
installments that may still be due according to their fees target at the date
of the revocation, according to the official deadlines defined by the Fees,
Funding and Housing Office.
