Supporting Young Academics with Scholarships

The Stiefel-Zangger Foundation supports the education of young academics at the University of Zurich (UZH) by awarding educational scholarships. Doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers benefit from this financial assistance.

Students at the University of Zurich learn in groups at different tables.

In order to support young academics, the Stiefel-Zangger Foundation awards scholarships.

The Stiefel-Zangger Foundation awards scholarships to support young academics. Established in 1995, the foundation was integrated into the UZH Foundation in 2023 and continues as the Stiefel-Zangger Endowment Fund. The fund remains committed to its original mission. By granting educational scholarships, it supports the further education of doctoral candidates and postdoctoral researchers at the University of Zurich.
