The Rome Business School strives to increase the number of women in top leadership positions and enhance workplace gender equality. Our student body is predominately female, and many of them balance rigorous personal and professional obligations with their studies. We want to support these activities with our Executive Women in Business Grant, which aims to enhance our students’ capacity to realize their executive potential, leadership potential, and professional goals. When an applicant for the Executive Women Grant expresses interest, only a CV must be supplied. The program advisor will forward the application to the admissions committee for evaluation. Motivational letters and statements of goals are optional and only required by the program advisors’ request.
Entrepreneurial Grant​
A special scholarship is awarded to entrepreneurs that are running businesses that need a helping hand to actualize their vision. Taking on an entrepreneurial enterprise is frequently a difficult undertaking that needs both planning and the willingness to sacrifice. Our goal in awarding this grant to directors of SMEs, independent professionals, and individuals with their business enterprises is to encourage the entrepreneurial spirit of our students. Candidates for the Master in Entrepreneurship and Innovation program must have found a business within the previous 12 months to be eligible to apply for this award.
