At the Italian Institute of Fashion Management – Milan, we believe that talent and ambition should never be limited by financial barriers. For this reason, we created the IIFM Scholarship Program, designed to support the most motivated students and make our Master’s programs more accessible.
With scholarships covering up to €10,500 – equal to 50% of the total tuition fee (€21,000) – we offer ambitious individuals the chance to join one of the most prestigious educational experiences in fashion and luxury management.
Our scholarships are attributed on a merit basis, while also giving priority to candidates from lower-income backgrounds. This means that excellence and motivation remain the key drivers, combined with a commitment to support inclusiveness and diversity.
The application process is simple. When filling out the Master’s application form, just flag the scholarship request section and upload the necessary documentation. Selected candidates will then be invited to an oral interview, a valuable opportunity to present their motivation, vision, and potential contribution to the IIFM community.
The selection is carried out by the IIFM Board, evaluating each application with fairness and transparency. Results are communicated before the start of the Master, so that every student can plan with confidence.
Each year, a defined number of scholarships is available for both Italian and international applicants. In addition, specific agreements with selected partner institutions create further opportunities for their students and Alumni.
Studying in Milan – the beating heart of fashion and design – is more than just an academic path: it is an immersive journey into the future of the global fashion system. Thanks to the IIFM Scholarship Program, you can take the first step toward your career with the support you deserve.
We speak to Hoài Lê Thu. who commenced her MBA at Warwick Business School in September 2025 after winning the $10,000 QS ImpACT MBA Leadership Scholarship.
Maria-Madalina Ifrim is undertaking an MBA at the University of Mannheim’s Business School in Germany having won the $5,000 USD QS ImpACT MBA Community Scholarship.
In a landmark partnership, the QS Scholarships platform merged with ImpACT charity organization in 2020, culminating in a synergy of resources that now manifests as QS ImpACT Scholarships.
What is the difference between institution-funded and QS ImpACT scholarships?
Institution-funded scholarships are exclusively backed by the institution itself. This implies that scholarship recipients need to secure acceptance for their studies at the said institution in order to qualify. It's essential to note that each scholarship comes with its own set of eligibility criteria and prerequisites. On the other hand, QS ImpACT Scholarships mark a collaborative effort between the ImpACT charity organization and QS. These scholarships present a unique advantage – they allow candidates to be considered regardless of the institution they choose for their studies, as long as they meet the appropriate study-level requirements. To delve deeper into the eligibility criteria associated with these scholarships, we invite you to explore the relevant scholarship details.
Can I apply for more than one scholarship?
Yes, you can apply for as many scholarships as you wish. Just make sure that you meet the eligibility criteria and follow the application process for each.
Who evaluates my application and who will announce the winner?
Scholarships by institutions are managed by the school, university or collage offering the scholarship and the winner will also be announced by them. QS ImpACT Scholarships are managed by us here at QS and we’ll announce the winner.
