Master excellence fellowships
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.
Excellence and diversity
These fellowships, worth CHF 10,000 per semester, are
available to students who have obtained their Bachelor’s degree at EPFL, as well
as to those who have begun their university studies at another institution.
Their objective is to allow students to concentrate on their Master’s studies
while also having the opportunity to undertake various activities likely to
enrich their professional background and to develop cross-disciplinary skills.
Thanks to this financial support, the School also hopes to widen their
perspectives by allowing them to choose their internships and first work
experiences according to their scientific interest and ambitions.
Application and fellowship renewal
In order to be eligible for this fellowship, interested
students must check the corresponding box on their Master’s application form
and provide the requested application file. Internal candidates wishing to continue
in the same field of study submit the application directly to their section.
While the academic background is a crucial point in the
evaluation of applications, EPFL also takes into consideration the candidates’
experiences in various areas such as research (publications, prizes or
fellowships), entrepreneurship (patent applications, start-up creation), or
societal commitment (associative or civic activities, organization of festivals
and events). Therefore, all outstanding achievements enriching the students’
profile will be taken into account.
In order for the fellowship to be renewed for the second
year of the Master’s degree, students must have obtained at least 50 ECTS
credits and have an overall average of 5,0/6.
