Bocconi Graduate Merit Awards

Bocconi University is committed to making our superior level of higher
education available to  outstanding students. For the provision of these
Awards, Bocconi University commits its own resources and generous donations
from private donors, Alumni, individuals and foundations. Merit Awards will be
made available for first year Graduate applicants for the 2022-2023 academic
year based on their academic standing.

The Merit Award includes a full tuition and fees waiver, worth
approximately €14,000 per year. 

The provisions
below constitute official publication of the regulations a.y. 2022-2023 of the
“Bocconi Graduate Merit Award” benefit for students enrolled in the first year
of a MSc programme in the a.y. 2022-2023.

1. Eligible students

Academic profiles considered to be amongst the top
applicants (International, Italian and Bocconi) will be considered for a Merit
Award based on the admission's application submitted to Bocconi University. A
separate application will not be required. The Bocconi Merit Award
evaluation will primarily be based on the candidate’s academic
achievement. In addition to academic achievement, the complete dossier provided
to the Admissions office will be evaluated. The Selection of awardees will be
carried out by a Committee, nominated by the Rector, including the Dean of the
Graduate School and the Dean for International Affairs, whose decisions about
numbers, amounts and recipients is final and unquestionable. The number of
awards to applicants will not be equally divided amongst the different rounds.
The majority of awards will be allocated - for each category of students
(International, Italian, and Bocconi candidates) - in the first relevant
rounds: the final percentage of awarding for each round is at the discretion of
the Committee.

2. Awarding

The assignment of an award will be communicated to
awarded students together with admission results.

Students admitted
to the MSc in Cyber Risk Strategy and Governance, Joint Degree with Politecnico
di Milano, may be awarded the Cyber Partnership Scholarship, which
is equal to a Bocconi Graduate Merit Award.

3. Acceptance

Soon after the publication of admission results,
awarded students will receive a separate and more detailed email by the Fees,
Funding and Housing Office. In order to accept the scholarship, they will need
to follow the instructions indicated in the email and complete the
online scholarship acceptance procedure by the enrollment deadline. The
scholarship acceptance procedure can be accessed only after completing the
enrollment procedure.

Students will have to upload a copy of their updated CV that might be
shared with the Fundraising Office, in order to facilitate possible contacts
with the donors. During the academic year, the Merit Award, indeed, might be
converted (by the end of September 2022) in a named scholarship. Bocconi Merit
Awardees might be contacted by donors of this project and/or staff members from
the University Fundraising Office for all the information relating to the named
scholarship, its possible advantages and for the participation in academic and
extra-academic activities. 

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.
