1st round: 10 September 2025 
2nd round: 9 January 2026

Early bird fee application deadline
11 November 2025 

Each year, SDA Bocconi School of Management makes multiple merit-based scholarships and tuition waivers available for outstanding candidates, thanks to the ongoing support of companies, organizations, alums, and current students. 

Applications for tuition waivers are evaluated according to the following criteria: 
• Analysis of the requirements indicated in the specific notice of competition 
• Analysis of academic and professional records 
• Results of the EMMS selection process 

To be eligible for a tuition waiver, applicants must: 
• Submit their application for the EMMS 2025-2026 program 
• Review and meet the pre-requisites for each tuition waiver 
• Prepare a motivation letter explaining why you should be awarded a tuition waiver 
• Flag the tuition waiver option through the online application portal by the indicated deadline 

Important: 
• All candidates who meet the requirements can apply for the tuition waivers. Applicants will only be considered eligible for a tuition waiver after completing the EMMS application (including the online form and all supporting documents). 
• You can apply for scholarships and tuition waivers even if your selection process is still in progress. However, only admitted candidates will be evaluated for the awarding of a tuition waiver or scholarship. 
• The tuition waiver is not compatible with the "early bird fee". Candidates enrolled by 11 November 2025 who are subsequently awarded a tuition waiver are no longer eligible for the early bird fee.

The School assists candidates with their search for funding by supplying the necessary documentation and encouraging them to explore all scholarship and loan possibilities. SDA Bocconi provides opportunities for low-interest loans to admitted students (International students, Italian students), thanks to agreements with partner banks. Loan applications must be submitted by the end of month following the starting date of your Master. 
Furthermore, the University provides international students with information about possible sources for financing in several countries. For further information, please visit the Università Bocconi website.
