Each year, QS and EDHEC Business School partner to offer exclusive business school scholarships to support students enrolling in an MSc or MiM program at EDHEC. Covering 50% of tuition fees, the QS-EDHEC Business School scholarships are awarded to applicants who demonstrate high levels of academic excellence, alongside a clear vision of how studying at EDHEC will help them achieve their educational and professional goals.
This year, the scholarship, open to any attendees of the QS World Grad School Tour, was awarded to Italian student Violetta Grimani.
Having studied a bachelor’s in economics and finance at the University of Bologna, Violetta was attracted to EDHEC’s MSc in Corporate Finance & Banking and the way the course integrates theory with real business cases and applications.
Violetta hopes the course will provide the perfect foundation for a career in investment banking and, eventually, work at a venture capital firm. She says: “I have a short-term and long-term career objective. First, I’d like to work in mergers and acquisitions at an investment bank as I’m attracted to the role’s challenges. However, in the long run, I would like to return to Italy and work for a venture capital firm. I believe innovation and entrepreneurship are key factors in every developed economy and deserve greater attention.”
Until then, Violetta will live in France where EDHEC is based. She says she’s looking forward to studying and living in an international environment.
