Leave a comment

Application Deadline: December 1, 2025

LOCATION: Switzerland

In order to reward the most outstanding students who are beginning their master’s studies, EPFL offers a limited number of excellence fellowships, along with guaranteed housing, to candidates who have achieved remarkable academic results and who distinguish themselves in extracurricular activities, whether sporting, artistic, civic, or entrepreneurial.

ELIGIBILITY:

Anyone applying to a master’s program at EPFL is eligible. A limited number of fellowships are awarded to the most deserving candidates, based on academic excellence, qualifications, and motivation.

However, candidates who already hold a master’s degree or are currently enrolled in a master’s program at EPFL are not eligible.

Applications should be submitted via EPFL’s online Master application. Be sure to check the box indicating that your profile should also be considered for an excellence fellowship.

Documents to provide:

No additional documents are needed beyond those required for admission.

The application deadlines align with those for the master’s program. There are two application rounds. 

Deadlines:  1st round: December 15

The renewal and payment of the fellowship for a second year of studies is conditional upon excellent academic performance.

At the end of the first year, once the results are published, fellowships are renewed provided that fellowship holders have:

reached at least the average of 5.0 (6 = max / 4 = pass).

The average is weighted with the ECTS credits of each course. All numerical grades from all chosen courses and exams during the first MA year count for the average.

earned at least 50 credits (for branches other than the internship)

Credits for language courses, admission courses, or courses outside of the study plan do not count.

There will be no exceptions for students who have not reached the requested average or number of credits.

BENEFIT:

Amount: CHF 10,000 per semester, with a maximum coverage of 4 semesters.

Additional Benefits:

Reservation of a student room in a student residence (for external candidates only).
