Benefits

Scholarship grants may cover partial or up to the full tuition fee. The scholarship percentage awarded depends on budget available to the programme/faculty. It has no reflection on the students' 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.

  • 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.

Please do not apply if:

  • You do not meet the admission requirements to Lund University.
  • You have not selected a Lund University programme/course as your first choice/choices at universityadmissions.se.

To be able to apply and be considered for a Lund University Global Scholarship, you must first have applied to the programme(s) you wish to study at Lund University.

Once you have made a complete application to studies leading to a degree and have paid the application fee, you will be able to apply for the scholarship. Note that the scholarship portal is different from the national application portal for studies. 

As part of the online scholarship application, you need to upload your personal 'scholarship motivation letter' (maximum 600 words) in the scholarship application portal.
