International students are welcome to apply for EPFL Excellence Fellowships in Switzerland. The scholarship is available for Masters level programs in the field of Eligible Master’s Programme taught at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. The scholarship deadline is April 15th (Annual).

 

EPFL offers a limited number of master’s level fellowships to students who have excelled academically. Anyone interested in pursuing a master’s degree at EPFL is eligible. The selection of candidates and the awarding of fellowships is based on an assessment of the candidates’ academic records. The candidates are chosen by a fellowship committee made up of EPFL section members, a representative from the Vice-Presidency for Education, and representatives from other school services. Only approximately 3% of master’s students receive such financial assistance due to the tough nature of the selection procedure.

 

EPFL funds some fellowships directly, while others are sponsored through collaborations with foundations or private companies. These guidelines are designed to give EPFL excellence fellowship holders all of the information they need to prepare for their master’s and meet performance standards. The fellowships are managed by Student Affairs (SAE), which is headquartered in the BP building. Please contact [email protected] with any questions or clarifications.

With the goal of having a real impact on society, EPFL engages with a large network of partners, including other universities and colleges, secondary schools and gymnasiums, industry and the economy, political circles, and the general public.

  1. CHF 8’000 per semester (CHF 32’000 for a two-year degree with 120 credits / CHF 24’000 for a one-year degree with 120 credits) 90 credits for a 1.5-year degree)
  2. Making a hotel reservation (student room in a student residence)
