The UZH Foundation offers you the opportunity to establish
your own foundation and focus your support on a topic
of your choice at the University of Zurich.
We also run the head office of the Walter and Gertrud Siegenthaler Foundation as well as several trusts focusing on specific topics.
«My studies at UZH were a great challenge, but fortunately the University supported me with a scholarship. I’m very grateful to my alma mater for that.»
