UniCredit Foundation is excited to announce the launch of its latest scholarships and research grants, aimed at nurturing young talent and promoting academic excellence throughout Europe.
The latest initiative, valued at €1.4 million, will provide funding through 37 merit-based scholarships and three targeted research projects focused on educational topics. This new tranche of funding will bring the UniCredit Foundation's investment in education to over €4 million in 2024, reinforcing its commitment to connecting academia with educational growth opportunities, particularly in the fields of economics, finance, and multidisciplinary studies on educational topics.
These opportunities are designed with two primary objectives: to enable students to specialize abroad by attending doctoral and research courses at prestigious universities, and to foster 'brain gain' by empowering them to contribute to the sustainable economic development of the countries where UniCredit operates through academic collaborations.

The UniCredit Foundation is proud to be empowering young people by supporting their journeys from school to university and employment, so they can give back to their communities using the skills and knowledge they have acquired.
