Application Opens: Early February, 2026
LOCATION: Sweden
Every year, Lund University awards scholarships to a number of new, high-achieving international students from across the globe. This selective, merit-based scholarship programme is designed to recognize top academic students from outside the EU/EEA who are applying for degree programmes at Lund University.
ELIGIBILITY:
Scholarship recipients are students with a proven track record of consistently high academic performance and a strong fit for Lund University’s programmes. The scholarship is highly selective, competitive, and based entirely on merit.
To be eligible to apply for a scholarship, you must meet all of the following criteria:
You must be a citizen of a country from outside the EU/EEA (and Switzerland) and be required to pay tuition fees.
You are applying in a regular application round to master’s-level studies leading to a degree at Lund University, or, exceptionally, for one of the Bachelor’s programmes in Development Studies, Mathematics, Physics and Physical Geography. The programme at Lund University that you are applying for a scholarship for should be your first choice in your application at universityadmissions.se.
Please note that special conditions may apply if you are applying to our programmes in Music and Fine arts.
The application usually opens in early February every year. When the application period is open, you will find a link to the application portal further down this page.
Applicants who have completed an application for an international degree programme at Lund University as their first choice will be notified by email when the scholarship application period opens.
BENEFIT:
Grants may cover part or all of the tuition fees.
The percentage awarded depends on the program/faculty budget and does not reflect the student’s academic standing.
Scholarships cover tuition fees only—living costs are not included.
