Turismo de Portugal launches the 3rd edition of the Luís Patrão Scholarship, with a total endowment of €1,000,000 and 20 grants available for professionals with a passion for management, tourism, and related fields.
Porto Business School’s commitment to empowering high-performance professionals takes a new step forward with the 3rd edition of the Luís Patrão Scholarship, an initiative by Turismo de Portugal designed to support the next generation of leaders who will shape the future.
This scholarship represents far more than a funding opportunity. It stands as an accelerator for success, crafted for those who demonstrate passion, creativity, and commitment in areas such as management, economics, administration, finance, marketing, and tourism.
How the Scholarship Works
