Purpose

 

The Heyning-Roelli Foundation provides scholarships to talented but financially underprivileged students for travel and subsistence expenses.

 

Target Group

Bachelor- and Mastersstudents who wish to participate in an exchange program for one or two semesters at a partner university. Exchange programs include the Swiss-European Mobility Program (formerly Erasmus) as well as other programs according to bilateral agreements between Swiss universities and foreign universities. In these programs students stay enrolled at their home university and continue their studies there after their stay abroad. At the partner university students have to be enrolled as “exchange students”. Double-degree or joint-degree students are not supported by the Heyning-Roelli Foundation. Applications from students having already started their exchange are also not supported (retroactivley)
