Glion EduGlobal Scholarship
The Glion EduGlobal Scholarship is a tuition discount of CHF 6,000 to CHF 13,500 (spread across the Bachelor's programme) for international undergraduates joining Glion's hospitality, events, sports, entertainment, or luxury management Bachelor's degrees. Glion is one of Switzerland's flagship hospitality schools, with campuses in Glion (overlooking Lake Geneva) and London. Sri Lankan applicants from hospitality-focused backgrounds — hotel families, tourism, F&B — are well represented at Glion, and the EduGlobal scholarship is one of the main affordability levers.
Open for February 2026, September 2026, and February 2027 intakes — rolling assessment

info How this award actually works
Who awards it
Glion Institute of Higher Education — not Lanka Scholar. We are not the awarding body and cannot grant, reserve or guarantee this award.
How you are considered
Through your admission application. Awards like this are usually assessed automatically from the application you already submit — there is typically no separate scholarship form to fill in.
What it covers
CHF 6,000 – 13,500 Tuition Discount. This is a reduction in tuition, not a full ride. You still fund the remainder, plus living costs and the balance your visa requires you to show.
Where we come in
We make the admission application strong enough to be competitive — course choice, documents, references and deadlines. The funder makes the decision.

Apply to Glion
Submit the Glion Bachelor's application via the online portal or through an authorised education agent. Applications are reviewed on rolling intake — apply at least 4-6 months ahead of your preferred start date for best scholarship consideration.
Submit the EduGlobal scholarship essay
Within the application, complete the EduGlobal scholarship section — a 500-word essay on a global hospitality, sustainability, or industry topic, plus a short statement on your career goals.
Interview + selection
Shortlisted applicants are interviewed by a Glion admissions officer (typically online for Sri Lankan applicants). The scholarship tier is decided alongside admission and is included in the offer letter.
Accept and enrol
Successful applicants accept the offer and pay the deposit. The scholarship is applied as a tuition discount across the semesters of the Bachelor's, contingent on maintaining satisfactory academic progress.

Looking for a scholarship because of the cost?
Then start here instead. Scholarships are competitive, usually partial, and decided by someone else — they are the least reliable way to make studying abroad affordable. Your destination and course choice move the number far more, and both are entirely within your control.
Work out your real number
Tuition, living costs, visa funds and flights for your destination — so you know the gap you are actually trying to close.
