The University of St.Gallen (HSG) awards various scholarships to high-achieving students. These scholarships help the HSG to support particularly talented and/or committed students in their studies.

There are four such scholarships at HSG under the generic term ‘Excellence Scholarships’. Three of them are financed by foundations. These are the St.Gallen Foundation for International Studies, the Monique Dornonville de la Cour Foundation and the Starr International Foundation. The foundations promote education, international exchange and young talent in accordance with their foundation purposes. The awarded scholarships cover the tuition fees for the standard period of study for the award winners.

The scholarships were given out to the students on 27 May during a meeting of the HSG Senate. The following 42 scholarships were paid out for the 2023 / 2024 cohort
