Financial Assistance
SMC recognizes the need to create equal academic opportunities amongst candidates. We thus are diligent in providing financial support to motivated high potentials who face difficulties in the settlement of our regular tuition fees. For this purpose, SMC has inaugurated a Scholarship Fund, available to qualified self-funding students.
The Fund considers the following applications:
- Candidates who prove sustained past/present academic excellence
- Candidates who are unemployed
- Candidates who part of a low income environment.
- Other (personal) constraints on a case by case basis
- Swiss Management Center DOES NOT provide full scholarships.
- Swiss Management Center DOES NOT financially support students studying at other universities.
- Scholarship Requests submitted subsequent to admission will not be considered.
- To apply for a scholarship, please mark and fill the according section within the online Application for Admission procedure. Students with outstanding academic achievements are assigned the highest levels of scholarships.
- Annual quotas applicable in regards to the country of origin of the applicant.
- Only candidates who have submitted the entire package of required documents will be evaluated.
- Previously rejected applications will not be reconsidered.
- No inquiries on results shall be given in advance of the date announced to the candidate for the decision.
- Applicants who have been granted Scholarships will be informed by the Admissions Committee in writing, indicating the level of financial assistance.
- The regular process of enrolment and study is applicable to the students from the decision rendering onwards.
- SMC reserves the right to require additional documents from candidates in regards to their financial eligibility.
