Until 2010, Sweden was one of the few European countries that allowed students to study for free. The Swedish government then presented laws to impose tuition and application fees on students from non-EU/EEA countries, which will be funded by Swedish scholarship programs. Many Swedish colleges still provide tuition waivers to international students.
1. Linnaeus University Scholarships
Linnaeus University Scholarships are available to students from countries outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland who have applied for a study programme at Linnaeus University. Scholarships typically pay 75 percent of tuition, although a few Linnaeus Academy of Science and Business scholarships cover the entire tuition cost.
2. Linköping International Scholarships
The LiU International Scholarship is intended to assist international students with great academic potential from countries outside the EU/EEA (and Switzerland) who are compelled to pay tuition fees for their studies. LiU International Scholarships lower tuition expenses by 25%, 50%, or 75%.
3. Lund University’s Global Scholarship Programme
The Lund University Global Scholarship Programme is intended at top academic students who are citizens of countries other than the EU/EEA (and Switzerland) and are obliged to pay a tuition price. Scholarships are offered for bachelor’s and master’s level studies. Scholarships can pay 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of the tuition fee.
4. Mälardalen University Scholarships
Every year, Mälardalen University awards a limited number of scholarships to students from countries outside the EU/EEA/Switzerland who are required to pay tuition and are applying for a master’s programme at the University as their first option.
