The Swedish Institute invites applications for study scholarships for South African students. The scholarships are intended for full-time master’s level studies in Sweden and are granted on condition that the students have been admitted to a master’s programme at a Swedish University.
Eligible programmes are presented at University Admissions with the following subject areas: social science focusing on democracy, information and communication technologies, and environment and sustainability.
Applicants must be South African citizens but may, at the time of application and admission, reside in a country other than South Africa, including Sweden. Priority will be given to applicants who have completed bachelor’s studies from a South African university. A scholarship cannot be granted for students who hold degrees from Swedish universities or are currently enrolled; have lived in Sweden for more than two years or who have previously been awarded a Swedish Institute scholarship.
Ten scholarships will be awarded on an annual basis. The scholarships are only awarded for programmes starting in the autumn semester and are granted for one academic year at a time. They will be extended for programmes longer than two semesters provided that the students’ study results are satisfactory. The scholarships cover both the tuition fee and living expenses to the amount of SEK9,000 per month. Scholarship holders will receive a travel grant in connection with the scholarship upon arrival. The travel grant is a one-time payment of SEK15,000.
