Bourses cantonales vaudoises pour étudiants de l'Université de Lausanne

The Bourses cantonales vaudoises are financial aid awarded by the Office cantonal des bourses d'études et d'apprentissage (OCBE) of the Canton of Vaud to support students registered at the University of Lausanne. The programme aims to ensure access to higher education for students with limited financial resources and assesses awards individually. Recipients may be granted a non-repayable scholarship or a student loan depending on the canton’s evaluation. The aid is intended to cover tuition fees, living and housing costs, and necessary study materials.
