These discounts are non-cumulative, except in cases of early bird or otherwise indicated.
Scholarships and Awards
Católica Porto Business School aims to reduce inequalities by offering partial or full scholarships for its Executive Education programmes and providing privileged financial conditions. This is made possible through the availability of the school's own funds and specific partnerships or support from the university's stakeholders.

To apply for a scholarship, students should contact the Executive Coordinator of their course of interest, who will clarify any questions about the specific application criteria.
