Baloise Fellowship and Scholarship Benefits
Recipients receive a monthly stipend of €300 during their regular study period. For Gestion students, the stipend applies to semesters 4–6. For Economics students, it applies to semesters 5–6. This support helps cover academic and study-related expenses. In addition, recipients complete a structured internship at Baloise.
