Master & PhD Scholarships, Graduate Institute, Geneva, Switzerland

Each year the Graduate Institute awards several scholarships to Master and PhD students. Awards are based on academic merit and financial need.

There are three categories of scholarship:

• Full scholarships: with a few exceptions, these are worth CHF 18,000. Recipients are exempt from Graduate Institute tuition fees; however they are still required to pay University of Geneva tuition fees. Some full grants are awarded subject to special conditions (duration of study and/or geographical origin of students).
• Partial scholarships: the value of these grants varies according to the individual needs of the recipient student. These grants do not cover tuition fees which recipients of partial grants are required to pay.
• Tuition scholarships: these grants cover tuition fees for one academic year. They are awarded to exceptional students.

Scholarships are awarded for one year, with the possibility of renewal.
