The Ermenegildo Zegna Founder's Scholarship Program offers scholarships for research or postgraduate specialization programs abroad, lasting from one to three years.

The call is open to undergraduate students who are nearing graduation with a minimum exam average of 28/30, as well as recent graduates with a final degree grade of at least 110/110 from Master's or Single-Cycle Master's programs, doctoral candidates, and postdoctoral researchers. 

To apply for the scholarship, you must have been admitted to the foreign program for which you are requesting the Zegna Scholarship by the date of the interview. 

Applications must be submitted to the Office of the Vice-Rector for Research (prorettorericerca@luiss.it) by March 15, 2024. 

Priority will be given to candidates who demonstrate a genuine interest in returning to Italy to make a positive contribution after completing their time abroad. The program was created to honor the memory of the founder of the Zegna Group, Ermenegildo Zegna, as well as his initiatives, achievements, and the values he conveyed. The Zegna Group is committed to funding the program with up to €1,000,000 annually.
