Master’s study in Switzerland can be expensive when tuition, living costs, and proof of funding all need to be planned before admission decisions are final. The Excellence Scholarship and Opportunity Programme (ESOP) is worth reviewing early if you are applying to ETH Zurich and need to show strong academic results, clear motivation, and a good fit with your chosen programme.

Below, scholarship winners share how they prepared for competitive Master’s funding, organised academic records, and explained why their study plans matched their goals. Read their stories to see what they applied for, how they handled deadlines, and what helped them succeed.
