[Moses joel Adetokunbo]

The Swiss Government Excellence Scholarships offer opportunities for graduates from any field to pursue masters, doctoral, or postdoctoral research in Switzerland at public-funded universities or recognized institutions. These scholarships are available to foreign students and artists from various countries, including Africa. The application deadline varies by country but is generally on November 30th. Other scholarship opportunities are also available in Europe, the United States, and Canada.

To be eligible for the research scholarship, candidates must hold at least a master's degree and plan to pursue research or further studies at the doctoral or post-doctoral level in Switzerland. They must be nominated by an academic mentor at a Swiss higher education institution.

Art scholarships are available for art students who have already been accepted into a program at Swiss conservatories or universities of the arts. However, this scholarship is only available to students from a limited number of countries.

Candidates for the scholarships must hold a university degree (Bachelors/Masters) upon starting the scholarship and demonstrate their academic abilities and goals. They must also contact the institution and/or professor supervising their research, as additional conditions may be set for admission. Applicants must be under the age of 35 and proficient in the language of instruction (French, German, Italian, or English).

The scholarship covers a monthly stipend, exemption of tuition fees, health insurance, airfare, and a special lodging allowance. The selection process involves assessing the candidate's profile, the quality of their research project or artistic work, and the potential for future research cooperation.
