EHL is proud to support students and their families by providing loans and grants to assist students in pursuing their degrees. We offer various types of financial aid.

EHL Foundation for Scholarships and Honorary Loans

In order to promote social diversity and talents, EHL is committed to providing a scholarship and financial aid program for deserving foreign students, and Swiss students who do not benefit from HES-SO grants.

To help these students and attract new skills, the “Fondation des bourses et prêts d'honneur EHL” has been created.
