Financial Aid / Scholarships
Scholarships 
The University of Geneva and its partners will be offering several scholarships to outstanding students accepted into our 2012/13 International Organizations MBA programme. Scholarships are based on a combination of academic merit, financial need, and availability of funds. Additionally, some scholarships may be reserved for nationals of selected developing countries.
Swiss Government Scholarships
Swiss Government Scholarships are awarded by the Federal Commission for Scholarships for Foreign Students (FCS). They are by definition intended exclusively for foreign students who wish to complete their education at a Swiss university or federal institute of technology, such as the University of Geneva (UNIGE). The Scholarships are awarded in accordance with a list of countries eligible for Swiss Federal Scholarships. Applications are to be submitted to the Swiss diplomatic representation in the candidate's country of origin.
Scholarships are granted for an academic year of nine months. An extension may be granted if the scholarship is needed to finance an educational program lasting more than two semesters, and only if the recipient of the scholarship has successfully passed his or her first year of study.
The list of countries granted Swiss Federal Scholarships for the academic year 2012-13 can be obtained from the following website:

IOMBA Scholarships
The United Nations University (UNU) Fellowship
The University of Geneva and UNU share a strong commitment to enhancing the capacity of individuals and institutions in developing countries. To demonstrate its commitment to the UNU's capacity-development focus, the University of Geneva is offering one UNU fellowship - which covers full tuition - to a qualified candidate from the 2012/13 IOMBA class.
International Organizations MBA Merit Scholarships
The IOMBA also offers several partial scholarships to outstanding students who did not qualify for the United Nations University Fellowship. These scholarships are limited in number and are offered only to the most competitive candidates.
