About EPFL

EPFL offers a limited number of fellowships at master’s level to students with outstanding academic
records. Anyone applying to an EPFL master’s program is eligible. The selection of candidates and the granting of the fellowships are based on the evaluation of the academic records of the candidates. The fellowship Committee, comprising members of the EPFL sections representatives of the Associate Vice-Presidencies for Student Affaires and Outreach as well as for Education and representatives from other school services, selects the candidates. The selection process is very competitive, only about 3% of the master students receive such financial support.
