ECLA’s financial aid programme complements the means available from students and their families in order to secure one of the central objectives of the college: to enable selection of applicants on the basis of academic excellence and personal merit without regard to their ability to pay.

All financial aid at ECLA is need-based. The awards vary widely and aim to cover the full amount of demonstrated need toward the ECLA comprehensive fee. Only students admitted to one of ECLA's academic programmes are eligible to receive financial aid.  Opportunities for student employment serve as an additional resource that primarily supports the students’ spending money.  

Deadlines for financial aid applications are the same as deadlines for programme applications.

Merit-Based Scholarship

Each year ECLA offers a limited number of merit scholarships not dependent on financial need to BA students with exceptionally promising applications. This Endeavor Scholarship, named after the Endeavor Foundation in New York, covers the full comprehensive fee for one academic year. The comprehensive fee covers tuition, accommodation in student housing, all meals during the academic terms, books on loan, and emergency medical insurance. In addition, Endeavour Scholars receive a free copy of all major core course books used in the relevant year.

The Endeavor Scholarship is renewable on an annual basis and may, on the basis of excellent academic performance, be awarded for up to four consecutive years, i.e. for the duration of the BA programme.

Students cannot apply for this scholarship. Every student applying for admission to the BA programme is automatically considered.
