Monthly scholarships

Our service offers monthly financial aid to UNIGE and HES-SO Geneva students whose income is insufficient for them to carry out their studies in decent and suitable conditions.

Monthly scholarships from The UNIGE and HES-SO Geneva

The University of Geneva and HES-SO Geneva offer monthly scholarships thanks to their dedicated funds which are managed by the Financial Aid Service.

In order to be eligible for this monthly scholarship, students must:

• Be registered at the UNIGE or HES-SO Geneva in their first Bachelor or Master program
• Have successfully completed at least one year of studies at a recognized Swiss university in the same course of study
• Not be eligible for a cantonal grant in the sense of the LBPE. If you are eligible, make sure you submit your applications with your canton as well as our service at the same time to respect both deadlines

All criteria are detailed in the directive (in French), which is the authoritative document.
