For more information on the preferential rate canteen service, please visit the dedicated page of our website.

Is the ISU Bocconi Scholarship renewed automatically for subsequent years?

No, it is necessary to submit a specific application every year and meet all the requirements laid out in the ISU Bocconi Scholarship Application Requirements and Regulations.

1. I am in the first year of my degree and I have not managed to reach the minimum number of credits needed by August 10 to confirm the benefit retrospectively for the first year. Can I use bonus credits?

Students enrolled in the first year of a Bachelor of Science, Integrated Master of Arts in Law or Master of Science program

CANNOT use bonus credits to confirm the benefit retrospectively for the first year in addition to the credits they already earned. First-year students who, due to a lack of credits, fail to confirm the benefit at the end of the first year are subject to the revocation for insufficient academic merit.

For further information on this scenario, we invite you to visit our "Revocation of the benefit" webpage.

2. I have applied for the ISU Bocconi Scholarship for a year subsequent to the first. If I do not have enough credits by August 10 (before the start of the academic year), can I use bonus credits to reach the required number?

In order to reach the minimum merit requirements needed to request the Right to University Education financial aid, students of years subsequent to the first can resort to bonus credits in addition to those they already earned. The number of bonus credits available varies depending on the enrollment year as well as on the program, as indicated on the "Bonus Credits" webpage.

3. I have been eligible for the ISU Bocconi Scholarship ever since my undergraduate years. I have applied for ISU for a year of Master's degree subsequent to the first. Can I use bonus credits that I left over from my undergraduate years?

Yes, students enrolled in Master of Science programs can use any residual bonus credits not used during their Bachelor of Science program. If they never used bonus credits during their Bachelor of Science program, they may use up to 15 credits.

1. What are the consequences in case of revocation of the ISU Bocconi benefit?

For all information concerning the consequences of revocation, please visit our "Revocation of the benefit" webpage.

2. I am a student whose ISU Bocconi Scholarship has been revoked. Can I apply for preferential rate canteen service in the academic year following the revocation?

Yes, students who meet the economic requirements and intend to apply for preferential rate canteen service only can submit a specific online application during the dedicated period, even if they are not eligible for the ISU Bocconi Scholarship.

For more information on these economic requirements, we invite you to visit our "Economic requirements" webpage.

3. I am a student whose ISU Bocconi Scholarship has been revoked. Can I submit an ISU application in the academic year following the revocation?

Revocation in a given academic year does not prevent students from applying for the ISU Bocconi Scholarship in the academic year following the one in which the revocation took place, provided that, however, all requirements needed to apply for ISU are met. 

I am a student in the final year of my degree and I fear I might not be able to graduate by the last available graduation session. How much do I owe?

Students who fail to graduate by the last available graduation session are required to enroll in the following academic year as
first-year "fuori corso" students.

Students who are enrolled as
first-year "fuori corso" students and are eligible for the ISU Bocconi Scholarship for that same academic year are exempt from paying the enrollment
fee and will only have to pay 50% of the ordinary fees target, depending on the graduation session.

Therefore, if you think you will not be able to graduate by the last available graduation session, we suggest that you apply for the
ISU Bocconi Scholarship for the following academic year regardless, in the event that you may have to enroll in the following academic year as a first-year "fuori
corso" student.

However, please be informed that in order to be included in the ISU Scholarship ranking and therefore to be entitled to the benefit in case of eligibility, you will have to be regularly enrolled in the new academic year by September, before the ISU Scholarship results are announced.

For more information on the payment of academic tuition and fees for final-year
students, we invite you to visit our dedicated webpage, where you can find the specific regulation.

Are there any funding opportunities that are compatible with
the ISU Bocconi Scholarship?

The ISU Bocconi Scholarship may not be combined with similar forms of economic aid provided by Bocconi University or other private or public bodies. In these cases students have the option of choosing one assistance or the other. Exceptions will be made for scholarships granted by Italian or international institutions aimed at integrating with experiences abroad the study or research activity of candidates as well as awards given by Universities to outstanding students enrolled in specific excellence programs.

However, it is possible to apply for Bocconi student loans for the same academic year when eligible for the ISU Bocconi Scholarship.

For more information on the other funding opportunities offered by Bocconi University, please visit our "Funding" page.
