Soroptimist International Club Lugano offers scholarships to academically deserving women enrolled in the first or second year of a Master’s program at Università della Svizzera italiana. The opportunity covers every listed USI Master’s field and is available across the university’s origin categories.
The active 2026–2027 cycle closed on 15 April 2026. USI lists consecutive 2025–2026 and 2026–2027 editions, so the scholarship is treated as annual and currently between cycles.
