SSE-Swedish Program Scholarship for Alumni
The Swedish Program and the Stockholm School of Economics are pleased to offer a two-year full tuition scholarship for Swedish Program alumni pursuing a master’s degree at SSE.
About the Scholarship
The scholarship is awarded to one Swedish Program alumnus every two years. The next scholarship is expected to be awarded for a program beginning in Fall 2026.
Interested students should apply directly to an eligible Master of Science program at SSE. After admissions decisions are made, the scholarship recipient will be selected by SSE in consultation with The Swedish Program.
The scholarship covers tuition only for two years. Students are responsible for all other expenses, including housing. Please note that SSE does not guarantee housing for all students, but a limited number of SSE apartments are available for international students ranging from 3,750–9,200 SEK per month based on size, location, and standard.
Scholarship recipients are informally expected to serve as ambassadors for The Swedish Program. This may include speaking with current Swedish Program students about their experience at SSE and/or participating in select Program events.
