Umeå University offers scholarships to talented and high-achieving students from outside the EU/EEA.
Umeå University offers scholarships each year, in conjunction with the Autumn term admission, to academically talented and high-achieving students. Scholarships offered are in the form of tuition-waivers. Selected candidates receive a full or partial waiver of the tuition fee.
We welcome you to apply for scholarship if you have:
• A Umeå University programme as priority 1 at universityadmissions.se.
• Completed your study application before the application deadline (15 January 2018).
The selections are based entirely on the applicant's academic merit. A committee appointed by the Vice-Chancellor is tasked with selecting candidates for scholarships.
For autumn term 2017 intake, 42 scholarships overall were awarded to students from different disciplines, with an additional 20 students ranked in reserve.
The Swedish Institute, a government agency, administers scholarship programmes each year that cover tuition, as well as living costs, for selected non-EU/EEA students.
More information is available at the Swedish Institute website.
