Objective
Making the right to education a lasting certainty
Politecnico di Milano has undertaken a clear and measurable commitment: to build a Youth Endowment Fund of €25 million by 2027 and €100 million by 2030, making the right to education a structural and lasting certainty. This is not simply a support initiative but a long-term strategic choice. An investment in talent, equity and the country’s future.
Politecnico di Milano has always invested in talent, supporting deserving students through scholarships and study support tools. Today, in an increasingly complex social and economic context, this responsibility expands: ensuring the right to education for talented individuals regardless of their starting conditions.
What is the Youth Endowment Fund?
The Youth Endowment Fund is a ring-fenced fund designed to last. The resources raised are invested according to prudent and responsible management criteria, so that returns can continuously support scholarships and opportunities for students and young researchers. It is a model that moves beyond one-off interventions and builds a self-sustaining mechanism capable of safeguarding the right to education over time, including for future generations.
The Endowment Fund is managed by Fondazione Politecnico di Milano, which contributed to the creation of the project and guarantees its solidity, transparency and alignment with the University’s institutional objectives.
The Youth Endowment Fund represents a shared commitment between Politecnico di Milano and its stakeholders: alumni, companies, foundations, donors and partners who believe in the value of education as a driver of social and economic progress.
Supporting the Youth Endowment Fund means contributing to a collective project in which giving is not only an act of generosity, but a strategic choice that produces measurable and lasting impact. It is a concrete way to give value back to the community and actively participate in building the future.
