Loan application - Main Phases
In order to apply for the student loan with the banks that have an agreement with Bocconi, Banca Intesa and Banca Sella, the application must be made by the student after enrolling in the Master's course and having paid the "first instalment - down payment".
It is specified that students, before filling out the loan application on the banking platforms, must complete the Bocconi loan application procedure below:
Online Bocconi application
the student will fill in the online procedure requesting a maximum amount equal to the cost of the chosen Master's course in consideration of any scholarships or exemptions awarded;
the Master program office will verify the request and send the student a letter ("funding agreement") which
- communicates pre-approval of the funding
- commits the student to pay the entire funding amount to Bocconi;
- informs of the conditions of the financing.
You will sign and upload the financing agreement in the Bocconi procedure;
The foreign student is also required to provide a guarantee signature of an individual or legal entity residing in Italy. Requests without a guarantee signature may also be accepted if accompanied by a letter of introduction from a person verifiable by Università Bocconi (please provide your company e-mail address);
once all requirements have been verified, the Master program office will approve the application, and the student can begin the procedure with the chosen bank.
