KARLSTAD UNIVERSITY GLOBAL SCHOLARSHIP

The Karlstad University Global Scholarship is designed to support students from countries outside the European Union, European Economic Area, and Switzerland who are required to pay tuition fees for their studies. The scholarship is available for students enrolled in our Master's programmes.

Applications for the 2025 scholarship period will be accepted from 21 March to 6 April 2025. To be considered for the scholarship, applicants must first receive an offer of admission to a programme starting in the fall semester and ensure that the application fee has been paid unless an exemption applies. Late applications will not be accepted, so it is crucial to submit before the deadline.

This scholarship programme is not open for students from the following 33 countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Belarus, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Egypt, Ethiopia, Georgia, Guatemala, Indonesia, Iraq, Jordan, Kenya, Liberia, Malaysia, Mexico, Moldova, Morocco, Nigeria, Peru, Philippines, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Thailand, Uganda, Ukraine, Vietnam, Zambia. Students from these countries instead have the possibility to apply for The Swedish Institute Scholarship for Global Professionals.

WHAT COSTS DOES THE SCHOLARSHIP COVER?

Scholarships cover 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% of the tuition fees. The value of the scholarship is stated in the notification of scholarship for each scholarship holder. The scholarship value is deducted from the tuition fees of the programme for which you are awarded a scholarship. Please note that the Karlstad University Global Scholarships do not cover living costs. To be able to finance your stay in Sweden and get a residence permit for studies you need to show that you have funds for the total study period the first time you apply for a residence permit. For further information contact the Swedish Migration Board.

SCHOLARSHIP CONDITIONS

The selection process for scholarships is undertaken after the programme selection process. Priority will be given to students with high academic performance and who demonstrate a strong commitment and desire to study at Karlstad University.

The scholarship is only awarded for programmes starting in a fall semester. An offer of a scholarship is only valid for the year and the programme stipulated in the scholarship notification. If the student is granted deferment until the next academic year, the offer of a scholarship is not valid. If a student who has been awarded a scholarship changes programmes, the student will risk losing the scholarship as scholarships are programme-specific.

You have already lived in Sweden for two years or more when the scholarship period is due to begin. You have a Swedish permanent residence permit or a work permit. You hold a scholarship for studies from Swedish Institute or from a Swedish university/university college. You already hold a master's degree from a Swedish university/university college.
