Fellowships
The Geneva School of Diplomacy awards a small number of fellowships every year. An applicant awarded a fellowship will receive a partial waiver of tuition fees. Please note that only Bachelor and Master students are eligible for fellowships. Applicants who are in need of a fellowship, need to submit a separate "Fellowship request" together with the application documents. The earlier your application and the fellowship request reaches GSD, the higher are your chances of being considered.
For more personalised requests for financial assistance, kindly contact accounts@genevadiplomacy.com to the attention of GSD's Financial Director.
