The value of Fundraisers for Students
Scholarship Recipient
Fundraising campaigns and regular giving activations are vital: widespread community participation enables us to turn many individual contributions into tangible, lasting results, broadening access to opportunities and strengthening the University’s financial support system. In this process, intergenerational support plays a central role, enabling Alumni and Donors to support the journey of those currently pursuing a university education.
Two prime examples of this are the American Fund, which has been supporting nine Bachelor students since 2025, and the Christmas Fund, which attracted more than 400 Donors over the festive period.
Active since 2024 and relaunched to mark Changed by Women 2025, the Women Fund continues to create opportunities for the female students of tomorrow, promoting women’s empowerment through tuition waivers and scholarships, thanks in part to the generous matching gift from Mariafrancesca Carli, an Alumna and ambassador for the project.
Among the initiatives consolidated in 2025 were Alumni Senior and the MBA Scholarship Fund, both of which have been active for more than 10 years and can provide tangible support for social mobility. Finally, the UK Fund was launched during the year, reflecting an increasingly international commitment.
