How to apply for the Uppsala University Scholarships

Step 1: Apply for a Bachelor’s or Master’s programme

Step 2: Check the eligibility criteria

Step 3: Submit an online scholarship application

Do not miss the deadline

Make sure you submit your scholarship application on time. We do not accept late applications.

Please do not apply for the scholarship if you:

do not meet the entry requirements for admission to Uppsala University;
have not selected a programme at Uppsala University as your first choice in your application at universityadmissions.se;

will not be able to secure the funding needed to cover your cost of living, as required by the Swedish Migration Agency, even if you are awarded a scholarship that covers the cost of tuition. See information about the cost of living for students in Sweden.

Selection Process

Uppsala University’s scholarships are for students who are liable to pay tuition fees. The selection is merit-based. The scholarships are aimed at academically talented students who show an interest in being in an educational environment. Information about your academic performance will be obtained from the supporting documents that you submit when applying for Master’s or Bachelor’s studies at universityadmissions.se. The written motivational letter filled in your online scholarship application is also taken into account in the selection process.

Financial need is not a factor we consider.

The scholarship selection process takes place at the same time as the programme admission selection process. In order to be admitted to a study programme and be awarded a scholarship, you must meet all the general and programme-specific entry requirements for the study programme, as well as all the eligibility criteria for the scholarship programme.

Applicants who submit incomplete applications or do not apply on time will not be considered for a scholarship at Uppsala University.

Restrictions

Joint Nordic Master’s Programme in Environmental Law
