Funding a named scholarship is a meaningful way to associate a Donor’s name with a specific purpose and scope that is important to the donor, the recipient and the University.

A donor can support a Named Fund by choosing to support a large number of students over two years.

Below are the current named scholarship funds at Bocconi.

Assicurazioni Generali is a long-standing supporter of Università Bocconi, believing and investing in the University's development projects since 1996. As a result of a commonality of values and objectives, the relationship between the two realities has evolved over the years, improving day after day with new content and new opportunities for collaboration. 

The Generali Bocconi Women in STEM Awards stem from the common desire to encourage and support more talented women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics degree courses, in order to ensure added value for the future, both for the benefit of society and the professional growth of the beneficiaries.  

With its contribution, Assicurazioni Generali has chosen to make our University a truly affordable choice, opening the doors of the University, for the next two years, to 4 deserving female students enrolled in one of Bocconi's master's degree courses, including Finance, Data Science and Business Analytics and International Management. 

The relationship between the Foglia family and Università Bocconi is a strong and lasting one that has been nurtured and renewed over the years thanks to shared values which have led the Foglia family to support several development projects with Bocconi. 

In 2019, in order contribute to the education of new generations, the Foglia family established the "Ceresio Scholarship" as part of the Double Degree program in European and International Public Policy and Politics, a program which is the result of the collaboration between the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and Università Bocconi.  

As of today, two deserving and talented students have been able to realize their dream of undertaking this innovative degree thanks to the generous contribution of the Foglia family. This represents an example of their commitment towards inter-generational solidarity. 

The collaboration between eBay and Bocconi is the result of a relationship between two dynamic, innovative realities that have always been committed to promoting diversity and inclusion through solid actions and initiatives.  

Based on such premises, eBay has chosen to establish the "eBay Bocconi Women in Tech Awards" for the benefit of brilliant and deserving female students enrolled in specific innovative Master's Degree Courses that are in line with the mission of the Foundation.   

In the next two years, the named fund "Bocconi Women Tech Awards" will will allow four female students to join the University, two in Bachelor programs in Economics, Management and Computer Science and in Mathematical and Computing Sciences for Artificial Intelligence and two in Economics and Management of Innovation and Technology and in Data Science and Business Analytics. 

Fondazione Dompé, like Bocconi University, firmly believes in knowledge-based economy and in the fundamental role that science and innovation can play in the evolution of society.   

For this reason, from the academic year 2020/2021, the Foundation has chosen to invest in the scientific training of young talents through scholarships that are reserved for worthy students, selected from five Italian academic excellences, including Bocconi. As part of this program, Fondazione Dompé has established the "Fondazione Dompé Students Awards", a named fund that for the next 5 years will open the University's doors to 15 students of the Master's degrees in Economics and Management of Innovation and Technology, Data Science & Business Analytics, and Economic and Social Sciences. 

Through this support, Fondazione Dompé has chosen to collaborate with universities, and Bocconi in particular, in order to promote the human and professional growth of young talents, regardless of their socio-economic background, and to actively contribute to the country's social mobility.

The recent collaboration between OTB Foundation and Bocconi University has solid foundations: it is a tangible sign of the common desire to work together to form the female managerial class of the future in Italian businesses and public administration. In Italy, only 19.1% of top positions in public institutions are held by women.   

For this reason, the Foundation has chosen to establish "OTB Foundation Brave Women Awards" in order to support brilliant and deserving female students enrolled in specific Master's Degree Courses that are in line with the Foundation's mission. These courses include: Management, International Management, Economics and Management of Government and International Organizations, Politics and Policy Analysis.

These programs allow students to enter the labor market in two areas, Public Administration and Management of large companies, where a greater presence of women is necessary and desirable 

The thirty-year relationship between Bocconi University and Invernizzi Foundation can be summarized in two words: trust and reliability. The same trust that Romeo Invernizzi, together with his wife Erica, chose to place in our University and in our development projects from the very beginning.  

Since 1991, the year of its establishment, the Foundation has always invested in research, but for the first time this year, it has chosen to channel its support to the education of new generations through the creation of a named financial aid fund.

"The Invernizzi Financial Aid" for the next 5 years will support education at all levels, thanks to scholarships that will help the Bocconi PhD School and exemptions that will open the Athenaeum's doors to 40 deserving and needy students enrolled in three-year degree courses as part of the "Una Scelta Possibile" project.   

The fund is a clear demonstration of the Foundation's commitment to invest in future generations, valuing talented students and at the same time removing the socio-economic barriers that could preclude their access to academic studies, offering them the opportunity to obtain a qualified education that they would otherwise not be able to access. 

The relationship between the Javotte Bocconi di Villahermosa institute and Bocconi has a long and profound history: it was in 1965 that Donna Javotte Manca di Villahermosa donated all her possessions to Bocconi University in order to honor the memory of her husband Ettore, son of Ferdinando Bocconi, founder of the University.  

Since its foundation, the Institute has supported Bocconi in various ways, with a distinct focus on young people and a particular attention to the dynamics of change in the world of education.   

The "Donna Javotte Women's Scholarship Fund" aims at honoring the memory of the founder, by supporting bright and deserving female students in order to foster diversity in various courses at Bocconi. The fund will support two students from the Bachelor's degree programs in Mathematical and Computing Science for Artificial Intelligence and in Economics, Management and Computer Science, and two from the Master's degree programs in Finance, International Management and Data Science and Business Analytics. 

As of 2021, alongside the "Donna Javotte Women's Scholarship Fund," the Javotte Bocconi of Villahermosa institute has chosen to further contribute to the development of the University by establishing another fund: "the Javotte Bocconi Merit Awards in memory of Tancredi Bianchi".

The idea behind the establishment of the fund is to keep alive the memory of Prof. Tancredi Bianchi, an historical professor for several generations of Bocconi students. 

In this case, the institute wishes to direct its attention to the area of Finance, helping Bocconi attract capable and deserving students who aspire to develop their skills in this field. The contribution will therefore be allocated for the benefit of two students selected for specific Master's degree courses, including Finance and Administration as well as Finance and Control.

In a world that is changing faster than ever, supporting future generations implies the idea of contributing to the diffusion of a solid knowledge which can provide answers to the complex challenges of our time.

Through financial support, Tod's will create a fund to help students who deserve special care and financial support, in accordance with its Corporate Social Responsibility policies.

The Alberto Alesina Young Economist Award was created to honor Alberto's memory and will be awarded annually to a student beginning a master's degree program in Economics and Social Sciences (DES-ESS) at Bocconi, in recognition of his or her preparation and achievements. 

The establishment of this award is a concrete gesture, honoring Alberto's contribution to the promotion of the social sciences and his particular dedication to training new generations of economists.
