Scholarship
Training the next generation of researchers, analysts, planners and thinkers is central to UniCredit Group’s core mission of economic, social and cultural sustainability.
Providing financial support for serious scholarly studies is one way we can contribute to that mission.
At this purpose, in March 2009, the Board of Directors of UniCredit Group established a private Foundation in memory of the Knight of Labor Ugo Foscolo former chairman of Banco di Roma. The Foundation is charged with sustaining academic initiatives in the fields of economics and finance, including to grant scholarships and fellowships.
The Foundation already published the announcements for 3 scholarships and 1 fellowship in the academic year 2010-2011, as described in the following:
