Merit Scholarships for Bachelor’s Degrees
Studying at CATÓLICA-LISBON, gaining access to the highest quality higher education in Economics and Management, with unparalleled employability levels, is within the reach of all students who show the highest levels of academic performance during high school – over half of our students benefit from our Merit Scholarships for Bachelor’s Degrees.
Above all, we want to ensure that no student that wants to study at CATÓLICA-LISBON and falls under this profile will be left out due to financial issues.
The CATÓLICA-LISBON scholarship program recognizes the effort and commitment of the students on the Bachelor's Degree in Management and Economics course each year. Any student meeting the academic achievement requirements established each year may have access to this program.
How does it work?
The scholarships are granted each year to all the students that meet the above requirements in terms of averages and ECTS. Scholarships are granted automatically, there being no need to apply to the program, and annually, so any student who does not have a scholarship in one year will automatically get one the following year if their performance meets the requirements stipulated in the program.
