Scholarship information for prospective students
ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Hardship Scholarship
The ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Hardship Scholarship aims to help students who have experienced extreme and unexpected financial hardship during their studies at ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ. The funds are applied to remaining tuition fees and are intended to ensure that students can complete their study programme. The scholarship may cover a part of or all remaining tuition fees for the programme.
General eligibility requirements for hardship scholarships
The hardship scholarship is intended for students who only have one semester remaining of their studies. Students with more than one semester remaining can, in exceptional cases, be awarded the scholarship in order to allow them time to organise their funding for the remaining semester/semesters. Receiving a scholarship in these cases should not be seen as an indication of being granted future hardship scholarships. If you foresee an inability to fund future semesters, you are advised to seek out other options, such as taking a study leave or applying for external funding.
The following eligibility requirements apply:
- You are a current student at ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ.
- You have studied at normal study pace and fulfilled at least 50% of a Master's programme or at least 30% of a Bachelor's programme.
- You are required to pay direct tuition fees to ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ for your studies.
- You are in severe financial hardship due to immediate and unexpected events.
- You are not a holder of a Swedish Institute Scholarship.
- Students who have failed to make adequate financial plans for their studies cannot be supported by the fund.
How to apply
To apply for the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Hardship Scholarship, please contact your programme coordinator.
If you are not eligible for the Hardship Scholarship
High-performing current international students at ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ who are required to pay tuition fees, but who do not meet the requirements of the Hardship Scholarship, may in some cases be able to apply for a merit-based ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Global Scholarship. To find out if this is possible for you, please contact your programme coordinator.
