The Walthard Award recognizes students who have distinguished themselves both academically and athletically

Are you an elite athlete or do you practice a sport diligently while studying at university? Each year, the Walthard Award celebrates the success of a student whose academic and athletic results are both exemplary.

Established in 1963, the Walthard Award is designed to recognize the abilities of students who excel in both academics and athletics. To engage in a dual pathway combining academics and athletics requires a significant personal investment. Achieving excellent results in this dual curriculum is proof of great potential and thus deserves recognition for the efforts invested, the diligence and the rigor of the applicants. Each year, an event is held to celebrate the most deserving candidate and award him/her a prize of CHF 1,000.

Who is it for?
