Stockholm University Scholarship Scheme

The Scholarship Scheme at Stockholm University is aimed at especially qualified students and covers the whole tuition fee for a Master's programme at Stockholm University. This means that students will need to cover their living costs.

Eligibility and selection criteria

To be eligible for the scholarship, a student must be: 

  • a citizen from a country outside of EU/EEA/Switzerland and be required to pay tuition fees for studies.
  • admitted to a Master's programme at Stockholm University in the first (international) admission round.

The selection will be based on the academic merits of the applicants and priority will be given to students with Stockholm University as their first choice on universityadmissions.se.

Application process

When the Notification of selection results is published, eligible students will be sent an electronic application form to the email address given in their application to universityadmissions.se. 

The Scholarship recipients and other applicants will be informed of the results by the end of April.

Swedish Institute Scholarships

The Swedish Institute (SI), a government agency, offers scholarships each year for international students. Only students with citizenship from certain selected countries are eligible for an SI scholarship.

Swedish Institute Scholarship for Global Professionals (SISGP)

Swedish Institute Scholarship Pioneering Women in STEM

The application to the Women in STEM scholarship is similar to that of the Stockholm University Scholarship and has the same deadline. That means that if you are eligible for this scholarship, you will receive a link automatically to your e-mail after the admission results are published. Please note that the link for the Stockholm University scholarship and the Women in STEM scholarship are separate. If you wish to apply to both, you have to fill in two different application forms.

Scholarships in Arbitration Law

Two scholarships are also usually available to specifically study the master programme in International Commercial Arbitration Law (ICAL). These are the Stockholm Arbitration Scholarship (SAS) and the Swedish Arbitration Association (SAA) Scholarship. These scholarships cover the cost of the tuition and are therefore a funding opportunity for students with citizenships outside the EU/EEA.
