SCHOLARSHIPS

Studying or spending a semester in the USA is a dream of many students. Every year we award scholarships totaling between 15,000 and 20,000 Swiss francs. Five to seven students from Switzerland benefit from our scholarships. There is a separate scholarship fund for lawyers who would like to study at Georgetown University in Washington D.C.
