Leave a comment

Application opens on the 16th of October 2025 and closes on the 28th of February 2026.

LOCATION: Sweden

Students applying to one of the programmes listed below have the opportunity to apply for this scholarship. The scholarship is granted on the basis of academic excellence. Priority is given to applicants that have chosen the programme as their first choice.

Bachelor programme in Mineral Resource Engineering

Master programme in Applied Environmental Geochemistry

Master Programme in Civil Engineering, with specialization in mining and Geotechnical Engineering

Master programme in Exploration Geoscience

ELIGIBILITY:

The scholarship is awarded primarily on the basis of academic excellence and the selection process is undertaken in parallel with the admission process. Only applicants who fulfil the admission requirements of the applied programme are eligible for a scholarship.

The scholarship is awarded one (1) semester at a time. Prior to each semester, the scholarship holder’s study performance is checked in LADOK. The scholarship holder must have completed the course credits specified below in order to receive scholarship for the next semester. The scholarship holder’s course credits must be registered in LADOK no later than 1 of December for the start of the spring semester or no later than 1 of May for the start of the autumn semester:

Prior to semester no. 2 = at least 7.5 credits.

Prior to semester no. 3 = at least 37.5 credits.

Prior to semester no. 4 = at least 67.5 credits.

Prior to semester no. 5 = at least 97.5 credits.

Prior to semester no. 6 = at least 127.5 credits.

If a scholarship holder has not fulfilled the required criteria for accomplished study results (see above) when the study performance is checked for the upcoming semester, the scholarship will not be awarded the scholarship for that semester. Failure to fulfill the required criteria for accomplished study results means that the scholarship holder will have to pay by them self in full for the living expenses/tuition fee for that semester.

If the scholarship holder, at a later stage, completes the stipulated number of credits specified above at the point when the study performance is checked prior to a semester, the scholarship holder can receive the scholarship for the semester that the applicable criteria are met. However, a missed scholarship period will not be awarded afterwards.

The application should provide the University with a Curriculum Vitae, a motivation letter and a letter of recommendation. The motivation letter and the letter of recommendation must contain no more than 600 words each.

The application period for the scholarships is open between the 16th of October and the 28th of February.

BENEFIT:

Students from countries within the EU/EEA and Switzerland (non-Swedish citizens): Can apply for a scholarship that covers living expenses. SEK 13,000 per month.

Students from a country outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland: Can apply for a scholarship that covers the tuition fee at LTU for the whole length of the programme, provided that the study results are satisfactory. The scholarship does not cover living expenses.
