FRANKLIN UNIVERSITY SWITZERLAND UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS 2027 — SWITZERLAND (PARTIALLY FUNDED)

Franklin University Switzerland is a small, American-accredited liberal arts university based in Lugano, known for its international student body and travel-based academic model. Its undergraduate merit scholarships are designed to attract academically strong students from around the world, including Africa, and are built directly into the admissions process rather than requiring a separate application.

Awards are based on high school (or transferable university) academic performance, with additional smaller awards available for creative achievement, environmental commitment, and leadership. There’s no dedicated scholarship form — every admitted undergraduate is automatically screened for merit funding.

  • Prospective full-time, degree-seeking undergraduate students, any nationality
