Franco Buzzi Memorial Scholarship

The "Franco Buzzi Memorial" scholarship is an initiative Buzzi SpA created to honor our former group Vice President and his ardent interests: first, the company, to which he dedicated his life; second, the bright young people who represent the company’s future lifeblood; and last but not least, the USA.

With this scholarship, we would like to offer motivated young people the opportunity to take a leap forward in their professional lives. At the age of 22 and a trailblazer at the time, Franco himself won a scholarship from the prestigious Fulbright Student Program to study in the USA.

This is why Buzzi SpA decided to award two scholarships each year offering the unique opportunity of participating in a Master’s program at one of the best universities in the United States, and which will cover the tuition fees as well as the standard ancillary costs such as travel, insurance and living expenses.

We are proud to support this initiative because we know that it will represent a significant opportunity for the personal and professional growth of deserving, eager and motivated young people.

And we like to think that Franco is also part of this growth process.
