Niccolò Colussi: Education without barriers
Youth are fascinating...they project you into the future. Contributing to their education means accompanying them on their journey and becoming part of the story they will write -Niccolò Colussi, Business Administration, 2001
Niccolò Colussi, a young Alumnus born and raised in Milan, now lives in Switzerland, where he manages the family office operating in various investment sectors. For years, he has also been a strong supporter of philanthropic initiatives aimed at fostering education in developing countries. Niccolò feels a deep emotional connection to Bocconi, the University that accompanied him throughout his academic journey and personal development, and where he forged strong, lasting friendships. He shares with his Alma Mater the commitment to making innovative, international higher education accessible to all, an education that promotes inclusion and breaks down geographical, social, and economic barriers.
For this reason, he finds it perfectly natural to support the University and its students through the “Una Scelta Possibile” and Partial Tuition Waivers, both of which provide real opportunities based on merit, regardless of socioeconomic background. Thanks to his contribution, over the next five years ten Italian students will have access to an educational experience of the highest level, just as he did a few years ago. Three of them have already begun their journey at Bocconi.
