ThinkSwiss Research Scholarship

We are pleased to announce the call for applications for the 2011 ThinkSwiss Research Scholarship!

For the fifth consecutive year, ThinkSwiss will select 15 talented and motivated U.S. students from all fields of study who apply for a research project at a Swiss university or research lab. The awardees will receive a monthly grant of $1000 for a period of up to three months.

The ThinkSwiss Research Scholarship is part of the U.S.-wide ThinkSwiss program on Education, Research and Innovation. Switzerland, a leading country in science, research and technology, is working with its American counterparts to address global challenges. The ThinkSwiss program is under the auspices of the Swiss Confederation (www.thinkswiss.org).
