CIES is again offering a FIFA/CIES Sports Management programme alumnus the opportunity to receive a full scholarship for the 2013 edition of the "FIFA Master"
This scholarship is awarded by CIES with the objective of strengthening the links between the students of the FIFA/CIES Programme in Sport Management and the FIFA Master. It also aims at reinforcing the feeling of belonging of the Programme alumni within the CIES community.
The Scholarship, to the amount of CHF 45,000.00 (forty-five thousand Swiss Francs), is intended to cover the registration costs for the FIFA Master as well as all or part of the living expenses (in particular accommodation, travel expenses, etc.) of the beneficiary linked to his/her participation in the FIFA Master.
The successful beneficiary is selected by CIES on the recommendation of the FIFA Master Executive Board. Only one scholarship is awarded each year.
Alumni from the FIFA/CIES International University Network who wish to apply for the scholarship must comply with the following requirements before submitting their application:
