Studio, Travel and Work Scholarships

The LANDIS & GYR FOUNDATION offers studio, travel, and work scholarships and pays mandatory pension contributions for cultural creators who are subject to the Swiss Old Age and Survivors Insurance (AHV) and reside in Switzerland. This funding applies from a scholarship amount of CHF 10,000. The foundation covers 6% of the scholarship amount directly to the pension fund or Pillar 3a, while the other 6% is borne by the scholarship recipient. This provides financial relief and better retirement planning for the recipients.
