Study Sweden || Lund University Global Scholarship

About the Lund University Global Scholarship programme

• Approximately SEK 20 million (€1.7 million/US $1.8 million) is awarded in scholarship grants each year
• A selective, merit-based scholarship to recognise top academic students from outside the EU/EEA

As a top 100 university and ranked in the top 0.4% of universities in the world, Lund University attracts high-achieving students from across the globe. The Lund University Global Scholarship programme seeks to recognise these students by awarding academic excellence grants.

Scholarship recipients have a proven record of achieving consistently high grades in their previous studies and are assessed as being a good fit for our programmes. The scholarship is selective, competitive and merit-based.

Scholarship grants may cover partial or up to the full tuition fee. The scholarship percentage awarded depends on the budget available to the programme/faculty. It has no reflection on the student’s academic level of excellence. Please note that scholarships are toward tuition fees only and that living costs are not covered. Scholarship recipients must still be able to fund their living costs, as per the requirements of the Swedish Migration Agency.

Who is eligible to apply?

To be eligible to apply for a scholarship you must meet all of the following criteria:

• You must be a citizen of a country from outside the EU/EEA (and Switzerland) and be required to pay tuition fees
• You have made a complete application in a regular application round to Bachelor’s or Master’s level studies leading to a degree at Lund University. Note that the programme at Lund University that you are applying for a scholarship for should be your first choice in your application at universityadmissions.se.
