While education has a cost it is priceless. The bono pro initiative supports deserving students who could otherwise not attend tertiary education in Switzerland through honour loans.
bono pro supports financially students (up to CHF 5'000 per year over a 3 year period) through a donors syndicate (individuals and institutions). It also offers practical support to students through a network of coaches/mentors.
bono pro is based on the values of community and solidarity. By signing the bono pro charter, beneficiaries make the moral – but not legal – commitment to contribute to the fund at a later stage. In other words, it is not a loan, rather a gift with thin strings attached.
bono pro is a private, non-profit-making association, independent of any political and religious affiliation. It was founded in Decembre 2006 by Marc Laperrouza et Ralph Hefti.
