UniCredit Marco Fanno Scholarship

Scholarships for young European graduates undertaking a PhD in economics at a university outside of their home country.

The UniCredit and Universities Foundation is the non-profit research foundation of the Italian UniCredit banking and finance group. Its aims are to pursue social and humanitarian objectives in the care, health, environment, training and education sectors and promote and support studies and scholarship aimed at deepening knowledge of economic, financial, legal, political and social disciplines.

The UniCredit Foundation administers the Marco Fanno Scholarship to support the training of young European researchers undertaking courses of specialisation abroad, covering theoretical and empirical studies in the fields of economics, banking and finance. The scholarships support young graduates undertaking a PhD in economics at a university outside of their home country for the 2024/25 and 2025/26 academic years. The scholarship is €65,000 over two years to cover living costs or tuition fees. At least one of the scholarships will be awarded to a candidate with an Italian degree.

Applicants should be recent graduates who are no older than 28 years of age and must be either a citizen of a country where UniCredit has operations or have obtained their degree from a country covered by UniCredit.
