Scholarships

A tangible contribution to the growth of new talent

Objective

Ensuring that anyone can study

Ensuring that anyone with ability, talent and potential can study at Politecnico di Milano, regardless of their economic circumstances, is a concrete commitment: today, one in seven students receives a scholarship. 

Of these, more than 500 have been made possible since 2020 thanks to the contribution of private donors and companies, strengthening a model that rewards merit and promotes fair access to education.
