SSEF launches Education Scholarships
SSEF is launching two educational scholarships in gemmology, that will each be awarded once annually. They allow the scholarship winner to take a course at SSEF for free. SSEF will also cover the necessary economy flights and hotel costs required for the candidate’s participation (1 person) in the course.
The SSEF Foundation aims to make gemmological education more accessible to students with a passion for the subject but with limited financial resources. These two scholarships also align with the SSEF Foundation’s commitment to fostering excellence and knowledge within the jewellery and gemstone industry since 1972.
The two scholarships have been named in honour of Henry A. Hänni and George Bosshart, both past directors of SSEF who significantly contributed to gemmological research and education.
The deadline for applications is November 15th 2024, winners will be announced December 16th 2024.
