The MIDS - Managed Scholarships For LLM Students from Developing Countries, Switzerland

The MIDS - Managed Scholarships are specially offered for students enrolling LLM in International Dispute Settlement at Geneva Law School and Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Switzerland. The scholarship is available for students from developing countries. The funding covers the total tuition fees as well as CHF 15,000 toward living expenses.

Description
We are aware that the costs related to our program, in addition to the living costs in Switzerland, are high, especially in the current economic context. While our program does not have sufficient funds to offer scholarships, be assured that we make every effort to solicit support from external sources. We have been able to secure a number of scholarships from a local sponsor, one of the largest and most generous private foundations in Geneva.

Benefits: The LLM scholarship covers the total tuition fees as well as CHF 15,000 toward living expenses.

Eligibility
