Scholarships

Scholarships are part of the Student Exchange Office's exchange programmes. In addition, students can apply for further scholarships.

Application required

Heyning-?Roelli Stiftung (foundation)

The foundation supports many students who take part in an exchange programme at a Swiss university or carry out a Master's project (self-organized) outside Europe with contributions towards travel and accommodation costs. The most important condition is that the students cannot readily cover these costs from their own funds. Good academic performance is normally guaranteed by ETH's own requirements for an exchange.

Applications are assessed individually and favourably.

Application deadline for exchange with focus on courses

  • 20 April, 24.00 CET of each year for Autumn Semester
  • 20 October, 24.00 CET of each year for Spring Semester

Europe

Swiss-European Mobility Programme (SEMP) with a disability

You can apply to Movetia through ETH for additional financial means to cover part of any additional costs incurred during your stay. Contact the Student Exchange Office at least four months before the start of your stay if you wish to submit a corresponding application.

Own research (e.g. partner university)

Search independently for additional scholarships. It is possible, for example, that your partner university offers scholarships that are unknown to the Student Exchange Office and are, therefore, not listed on any ETH page.
