Stipendium

Stipendium.ch is a Swiss platform that helps people find scholarships and other education funding. Since 2010, it has supported students, apprentices, school pupils, career changers, and people undertaking retraining or further education. Its service is not limited to university students: scholarship opportunities may also depend on personal criteria such as age, place of residence, or community of origin.

Users can submit an online inquiry to receive individually tailored suggestions about potential scholarship providers, including foundations, funds, companies, clubs, churches, and public bodies. The platform draws on its direct contact with some foundations to help assess where an application may be worthwhile, reducing time spent on unsuitable requests and unnecessary paperwork. It also provides information through a knowledge base, frequently asked questions, testimonials, and a calculator. International students seeking scholarships in Switzerland are directed to dedicated information. For people who cannot cover education costs through scholarships, the site also points to affordable educational loans offered through a charitable foundation. Stipendium.ch aims to make funding options easier to identify and pursue.
