(Award assignment for a.y. 2023-24 terminated)
Renewal
The Bocconi International Award Undergraduate will be automatically renewed for the entire legal duration of the regular course of study provided that the following requirements are met:
— enrollment requirements: completion of the enrollment in each academic year within the deadlines foreseen by Academic Services;
—merit requirements:
- the second year (AY 2024-2025) provided the awardee earns at least 49 credits as of 10 August 2024;

Please note that the International Award can be renewed for the entire legal duration of the regular course of study. The International Award cannot be renewed for fuori corso year/s.
The renewal of the award is also subject to the payment of tuition and fees at Bocconi. For this reason, students enrolled in a Double/Joint Degree that, based on agreements between participating universities, offers a full tuition waiver at Bocconi and/or scholarships that cover tuition and fees to be paid to the partnered university will not be allowed to renew the award for the academic year in which they are exempted from the payment of tuition and fees at Bocconi University.
Please note that bonus credits ARE NOT applicable to the Bocconi International Award. If the merit requirements are not met, the International Award will be revoked. Once the Award is revoked, it cannot be restored. Students whose award is revoked must settle all tuition and fees payments with the Fees, Funding and Housing Office.

What is an International Award?
Awards provide recipients with valuable financial support, ensuring students can enjoy the benefits of a top-quality academic experience regardless of their financial situation.
International students applying for admission during the Early, Winter or Spring Sessions will be taken into consideration for this merit-based financial aid.
The Bocconi International Award consists of a 50% tuition reduction on the ordinary fees target.
The provisions below constitute official publication of the regulations a.y. 2023-2024 of the “Bocconi International Award Undergraduate ” benefit for students enrolled in the first year of a BSc programme in the a.y. 2023-2024.
Eligible students
Academic profiles considered to be amongst the top applicants were considered for merit-based financial aid based on the admissions application submitted to Bocconi University. A separate application is not required. The 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 Undergraduate School and the Dean for International Affairs, whose decisions about numbers, amounts and recipients are final and cannot be appealed.
Awarding
The assignment of an award was communicated to awarded students together with admission results.
Acceptance
Awarded students had to follow the procedure indicated in the email they received from the Fees, Funding and Housing Office soon after the publication of admission results and therefore complete the online scholarship acceptance procedure by the enrollment deadline.
The Bocconi International Award is also supported by donor companies, Alumni, individuals and foundations who sometimes wish to identify a single deserving student and convert (generally by the end of September 2023) the Bocconi International Award in a named scholarship. In order to facilitate possible contacts with the donors, awarded students will be required to upload their curriculum vitae, that might be shared with the Fundraising Office, in the dedicated upload space of the application.
The benefit for the academic year 2023-2024 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 2023-2024. For this reason, students who in the academic year 2023-2024 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 2023-2024 until the reserve is lifted.
