Each year, the Swiss Confederation awards its excellence scholarships. These are scholarships that promote international exchanges and research cooperation between Switzerland and over 180 countries. The selection and awarding are the responsibility of the Federal Commission for Scholarships for Foreign Students (CFBS).

The Swiss Confederation's excellence scholarships are aimed at young foreign researchers who have completed a master's or doctoral degree and foreign artists holding a bachelor's degree.

​​​​​​​The call for scholarship applications is usually published in August.

Graduated researchers (postgraduates) from all faculties holding at least a master's degree who intend to conduct research or pursue further doctoral or post-doctoral education in Switzerland can apply. Only applications supported by an academic supervisor at the chosen institution are valid.
