Scholarships
Essentially, the parents and the scholarship office in the parents’ canton of residence are responsible for funding studies. Scholarships from the university are granted by the scholarship committee of the Senate in addition to any cantonal education contributions. International students should find out what scholarships they are eligible for in their home country.
Ukrainian or other students who are experiencing financial difficulties due to the war in Ukraine are welcome to contact the Social Services. If necessary, short-term bridging aid can also be applied for from the University's scholarship fund.
