Scholarships and tuition waivers
Each year, SDA Bocconi offers multiple merit-based scholarships and tuition waivers. Thanks to the contribution of the Bocconi Alumni Community, SDA Bocconi School of Management makes available merit-based Tuition Waivers for 2026-2027 Rotman-SDA Bocconi GEMBA candidates.
Tuition Waivers applications are evaluated according to the following criteria:
- Analysis of academic and professional record
- Analysis of the requirements indicated in the specific notice of competition
- Results of the Rotman-SDA Bocconi GEMBA selection process
Admission to the Rotman-SDA Bocconi Global EMBA is independent of the awarding of any scholarship or tuition waiver.
For the assignment of (at least) 2 Tuition Waivers priority will be given to Women with an outstanding profile.
To be eligible for a tuition waiver, you must:
- Have submitted your application for the 2026-2027 Rotman-SDA Bocconi GEMBA program
- Review the pre-requisites for the tuition waiver
- Apply for the tuition waiver on the online Application Portal by the indicated deadline.
You can apply to the tuition waivers even if your GEMBA selection process is still in progress. The tuition waivers will be awarded in the rounds indicated in the notice of competition and within the Rotman-SDA Bocconi Global EMBA program's beginning.
We encourage candidates to apply early to increase their chances of a Tuition waiver.
