Webster Geneva offers a limited number of scholarships and/or financial aid to full-time students. The Financial Aid & Scholarship Committee evaluates requests using the following criteria:

  1. Financial need: only students who are able to document financial need are considered for financial aid.

  2. Academic merit: scholarships are awarded to students with outstanding academic performance.

Scholarship awards may cover from 10% to 50% of tuition. According to University policy, no scholarship or university financial aid package may exceed 50% of tuition costs.

Requesting a scholarship

We recommend that you submit your scholarship request at the same time as your application for admission.Your scholarship request will not affect your consideration for admission in any way: our admission decisions are “need-blind”.

Scholarship requests must contain the following documents:

  1. Your family's monthly or annual budget, clearly indicating regular income and expenditures. Income items might include your and your parents' or spouse's salaries, family savings, insurance annuities, contributions from other family members, loans, etc.

  2. Official documentation (contracts, bank statements, tax returns, etc.) of all income sources and any other financial resources that are available to you, as applicable.

  3. A brief explanation of the following: if the University were able to offer you a partial scholarship, how do you plan to cover the remaining tuition charges, as well as your personal expenses (accommodation, textbooks, travel, food etc.)?

Financial Aid information is kept confidential and separate from students' admission and academic records.
