Beasiswa Swis Bidang komputer – Summer Internships for BSc and MSc Students

The School of Computer and Communication Sciences provides internship opportunities in the Summer period for students enrolled in BSc, MSc, or equivalent programmes in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Telecommunications, or Electrical Engineering. Internships are assigned competitively to students with excellent academic results.

During a period of at least two months and including the whole month of July, internship students get the chance to learn new skills and to gain hands-on experience in their chosen field while working personally with leading senior scientists. Participating students will work in a research unit, typically to solve problems which are usually part of major research efforts. Often, this will lead to performing challenging programming or design tasks to prove new concepts. Being an intern at EPFL is a highly motivating learning and working experience in a competitive research environment, but it is also a great way to get familiar with another culture, to start building a network of connections in Switzerland, and to get prepared for a global career! And, last but not least, it is a chance to spend some months in a region rich of natural attractions and offering a multitude of leisure opportunities.
PRACTICAL STEPS DATES (every calendar year)
Application by the student Before around 1st FEBRUARY (3rd FEBRUARY 2013)
IC decision on acceptance Before around 1st MARCH (communicated by e-mail)
Beginning of internship Usually after 1st MAY
End of internship Usually before 1st SEPTEMBER

The minimum duration of an internship is two months but longer stays are strongly encouraged. The exact duration depends on the availability of participating students and on the agreement of the hosting laboratories. It is strongly recommended that the internship period includes the whole month of July to enable participation in some programme-wide activities.

Internships require full-time commitment (~40 hours/week). Therefore, participating students cannot attend another summer school or commit to other activities that could interfere with their work schedule.

Students in Indian institutions should submit their applications to the dedicated programme.
The BSc or MSc programmes must be in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Telecommunications, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field.
Applicants, at the time of application, must be currently enrolled in the 2nd year BSc or above (therefore, they must have successfully completed their 1st study year of the BSc).

WHAT’S ON OFFER?

Scholarships: CHF 1,600.- per month (CHF 400.- per week).
Refund of travelling cost (2nd class train ticket or low-cost/economy airfare, only after written approval by the hosting laboratory).

Tips To Get Financial Aid Scholarships

Many students know that grants and scholarships are a surefire way to help pay for the high cost of a college degree. A high level of stress doesn't need to come along with the process of applying for financial aid. With knowledge and foresight, earning financial aid to help pay for college doesn't need to be a challenge.

Students may be applying for financial aid in the form of scholarships for a number of reasons. Some scholarships are offered to students who demonstrate a financial need for monetary help and thus are considered need based. Other scholarships are merit-based and help reward students who may not demonstrate financial need, but could still benefit from financial aid. Either way, the process of applying for scholarships remains the same.

There are some steps that are simply applicable across the board, no matter what type of financial aid students are applying for. From the East coast to the West coast, these strategies have been continually employed. They are proven to be the most successful; both in positive results and in helping students develop a sense of organization.

The first tip is also applicable to deadlines while students attend college: start looking early and keep track of deadlines. Organization is paramount throughout the process of scholarship applications. Missing a deadline is not an option; scholarship boards will not accept late applications. The earlier students identify which scholarships they want to apply for, the more time they have to make their application top-notch.

The second tip for making yourself into an attractive scholarship applicant requires more work than simply writing down dates in a calendar. When trying to win financial aid money, GPA and demonstrating financial need are absolutely important. However, many scholarships want a full picture of the applicants - so community and campus involvement are just as important as your grades. Staying involved in extracurricular activities like clubs, sports and volunteering will help make you into a desirable applicant when you're aiming for financial aid.

The actual process of submitting an application requires the same type of organization as keeping track of dates. Students need to be sure to read all the instructions so they don't skip or accidentally miss an important part of the scholarship's instructions. No matter how messy they are regularly, the scholarship application itself needs to be neatly handwritten or typed, with an attention to detail. Scholarship boards process hundreds of applications regularly and don't have the time to be deciphering horrible penmanship!

Students who are vying for scholarships may be drawn first and foremost to the biggest scholarships available on a national level. However, it is wisest to apply for local scholarships first. The smaller the pool of applicants, the more likely it is that students will be successful in winning their financial aid. Local colleges and universities are an excellent source of individual scholarship opportunities, and many hometown individuals and programs will also offer students financial aid. The search can be broadened only after the closest opportunities are taken advantage of.
