Swiss Government Scholarships

Swiss Government Scholarships

Through the Federal Commission for Scholarships for Foreign Students (FCS), the Swiss Government grants foreign students university scholarships to study at Swiss universities and Federal Institutes of Technology. The Swiss Government is offering two academic scholarships and one artistic scholarship for the academic year 2008/2009.

The scholarships are intended for postgraduate students who, by staying in Switzerland, will be able to further their education and to undertake research work in the fields in which the Swiss universities are particularly active. The scholarships are not valid for on-the-job studies, part-time studies or correspondence courses.

Your application must be received by the Swiss Embassy in hard copy by close of business on Friday 12 October 2007.
