Scholarships for studying in Europe

Most Swedish scholarships are for students from outside the EU/EEA who pay tuition fees – universities award them mainly to cover part of the fee. Swedish Institute (SI) scholarships are only for citizens of the countries listed on the institute's website.

Other options:

• Erasmus+ – a semester or a year in Sweden as part of an exchange with your home university,
• Swedish student finance from CSN (grants and loans) – EU citizens can get it if they have worker status: working at least 10 hours a week for at least 10 weeks, and continuing to work at that level during their studies. Other routes are professional studies linked to earlier work in Sweden, permanent right of residence (after 5 years of legal residence) or being a family member of an EU worker,
• a paid doctorate – doctoral students are employed by the university.
