Merit-based Tuition Waivers
At MIB Trieste School of Management, we offer a range of merit-based tuition waivers, providing substantial support to high-potential candidates.
These Scholarships range from 20% to 70% of the tuition fees, depending on your qualifications.
Most admitted candidates are awarded tuition waivers. The reduction is directly applied to your MBA program fees.
The School supports those who decide to invest in a complete on-campus experience, choosing the full-time in-person formula; this choice requires interrupting work and incurring additional costs for travel and accommodation.
For this reason, the only Scholarships for those who attend full-time in-person reach up to 70%
