EPFL MASTER EXCELLENCE FELLOWSHIPS

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: December 15, 2026

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. Each student may apply for only one master’s program per year.

After an initial screening by the sections, the Excellence Fellowships Committee awards the fellowships. Selected candidates are notified at the beginning of April (1st round) and early to mid-June (2nd round).

If a selected candidate withdraws or fails to respond, the fellowship is offered to the next candidate on the waiting list, who will receive a new deadline to confirm their matriculation.

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).

A certificate of excellence upon completion of the Master’s program.
