Scholarships and tuition waivers
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 academic and professional record
- Analysis of the requirements indicated in the specific notice of competition
- Results of the MAMA selection process
To be eligible for a tuition waiver, applicants must:
- Submit their application for the MAMA 2027-2028 program
- Review the pre-requisites for each tuition waiver
- Apply for the tuition waiver, once available and if required, on the online Application Portal by the indicated deadlines (multiple applications are allowed).
The tuition waivers will be awarded during the selection process and no later than the starting date of the MAMA 2027-2028 Program.
Tuition waivers MAMA 2027-2028
Grants ranging from 10% to 25% of the total program tuition fee may be awarded upon admission to our MAMA program or by the deadlines specified in the relevant notices of competition here below.
All admitted candidates are automatically considered for the “Partial Merit-Based Tuition Waiver” without the need to apply separately. To be considered for tuition waivers other than those mentioned above, candidates must apply for them when completing the online application by the deadlines specified in the relevant notice of competition.
Tuition waivers are typically awarded before the start of the program. If a higher tuition waiver is awarded, any previously awarded tuition waiver will be withdrawn. Admission to the MAMA program is independent of the awarding of any tuition waiver.
Tuition waivers for candidate Athletes
SDA Bocconi School of Management is also making available 2 merit-based tuition waivers of € 20,000 each to all 2026/27 Full-Time Specialised Masters’ candidates with an outstanding athletic background who can offer clear evidence of significant athletic activities (preferably in one of these 3 sports: basketball, volleyball and waterpolo) at a competitive level, such as participation in or selection for competitions or tournaments organized at national or international level prior to the date of enrollment.
Jean Monnet Scholarship Program
MAMA is one of SDA Bocconi’s Master programs listed as eligible by the Jean Monnet EU scholarship scheme (JM). The JM scholarship is awarded to Turkish citizens willing to join EU universities (1-year full-time Master programs taught in English). Find more details on the JM website, where all scholarship criteria and application instructions are provided.
