SEG Cares: We Are Extending Support To Our Students In These Difficult Times

Dear Students and Colleagues,

Following the Swiss authorities’ recent announcement to gradually ease measures against Covid-19, we anticipate in-person classes to resume as of Monday 6 July at César Ritz Colleges Switzerland, Culinary Arts Academy Switzerland, and Hotel Institute Montreux.  We will be excited to welcome all students with valid visas back to our campuses. 

We are proud to advise that we have had zero infections on our campuses due to strict implementation of precautionary measures and we have well stocked prevention materials (e.g. masks, disinfectants and sanitizers). 

SEG Cares

Covid-19 has wreaked havoc on global economies and caused great disruption around the world. We understand that many of our students’ families and industry partners may be facing financial uncertainty and we are committed to extending our support wherever possible. We call it “SEG Cares”. For new or returning students requiring financial assistance in 2020, we are lowering registration fee requirements, offering a favourable payment plan without additional cost, and extended financial aid.

• Registration fees will be lowered from CHF 3000.- to CHF 1000.-*
• All payment plan-related administrative charges will be waived.
• Additional financial aid will be extended on a case-by-case basis for students whose families are experiencing severe financial difficulties. 

*Applicable to new students who pay registration fees before Monday 1 June. 

All payment plan and financial aid inquiries can be addressed to Mr. Claudio Raccanello at craccanello@swisseducation.com.

We would like to thank all members of the SEG community for their continued support, cooperation and professionalism in these exceptional times and circumstances.

If you have any further questions please refer to the Q&A here.

Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Yong Shen
Deputy CEO
