The New Vittorio Merloni Scholarship: Supporting Three Students a Year for Five Years

THE INITIATIVE, FOR STUDENTS ENROLLED IN EMIT AND THE MSC IN DATA SCIENCE, WAS CREATED BY ANTONELLA MERLONI, THE DAUGHTER OF THE IMPORTANT ITALIAN BUSINESS LEADER

Her father, the well-known industrialist Vittorio Merloni, focused on research and technological development and had a deep interest in training and promoting youth entrepreneurship. With this impetus, his daughter, Antonella Merloni, has decided to name a scholarship after her father, supporting Bocconi students with three scholarships a year for five years.

The Vittorio Merloni Scholarship is for Master of Science students in Economics and Management of Innovation and Technology (EMIT) and Data Science and Business Analytics, preferably from the Marche region, in honor of the family's origins.

The Vittorio Merloni Scholarships provide recipients with a 60% tuition waiver.
