complete and orderly prepared application files will be taken into consideration. Only shortlisted applicants will be invited for an interview which will be held at the Swiss Embassy in Jakarta. In May 2012, the Federal Commission for Scholarships for Foreign Students (FCS) will announce the accepted candidatures.

Scholarship Amount
CHF 1.920,-/month (for living costs)

Please note that not all master programmes and universities exempt scholarship holders from semester fees. The scholarship grant covers only living expenses in Switzerland. Therefore it is necessary that all applicants clarify the possibility of tuition fee exemption directly with the university.

Travel Expenses and Insurance
Recipients from Indonesia pay their own travel expenses to Switzerland, but the Federal Commission for Scholarships for Foreign Students (FCS) pays the return ticket (except for family members). The return travel will not be offered if the grantees extend their stay in Switzerland beyond six months after completion of their studies, or if they take up employment or move to a third country.

Health insurance (except for dental care) and accident insurance are provided.

Obligations as a Scholarship Holder
Scholarship holders must live in Switzerland at the study place and must comply with the laws concerning the residence of foreigners in Switzerland and the university regulations. The FCS does not have the authority to decide on the possibility of bringing the family of the scholarship holder to Switzerland. This is left to the Federal Migration Office, which at present deals with requests very restrictively. As a rule, family members cannot be brought to Switzerland during the first year of study.

When accepting the scholarship, candidates have to give their written agreement to return to Indonesia after completion of the scholarship in Switzerland.

Scholarships of the FCS cannot be coupled with other grants. If a scholarship holder benefits from another scholarship or other financial means (salary), he has to choose between the FCS scholarship and the other source of income.
