Hi all,
I just got admission into the LLM International Commercial Arbitration program in Stockholm, but my application for the Swedish Institute scholarship was not successful. Could anyone have an idea of other funding opportunities in Sweden, or international, as I understand the program requires full-time, giving no time for part-time job.

hi

How and when did you receive a response from Swedish Inst?

I applied there myself, but I havent heard from them so far.

Non-SI scholarships
Other organisations also offer scholarships or travel grants for studies in Sweden.

The Marie Curie Fellowship programme at the Karolinska Institute and other Eurolife universities provides scholarships for PhD students in life sciences from the EU aged under 36. Deadlines are between March and May each year.

The Ford Foundation's International Fellowships Program (IFP) funds graduate studies for students from China, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Mozambique, South Africa, Egypt, Palestine, Chile, Peru, Brazil, Guatemala, Mexico and Russia.

The American Scandinavian Foundation, yearly funds scholarships for advanced studies in Scandinavia by Americans or permanent residents of the US.

The Institute of International Education yearly funds Fulbright Scholarships for studies outside of the US by American students.

The American Women's Club in Sweden annually awards a travel grant to an American woman studying in Sweden.

SASS, the Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Studies, awards travel grants to Americans for study or research in a Scandinavian topic. Priority is given to members of the SASS and, in particular, to graduate students and untenured faculty.

Every year, SASS also funds The Birgit Baldwin Fellowship in Scandinavian Studies, for SASS members earning their degrees at North American univerisites.

The Bicentennial Swedish-American Exchange Fund funds a travel grant for American citizens. These grants are not applicable for academic or degree programmes.

The American Swedish Institute offers two scholarships: The Lilly Lorénzen Scholarship, open to Minnesota residents who plan to carry out scholarly and/or creative studies in Sweden; and the Malmberg Scholarship, to support a year of study or research in Sweden by a US resident who is enrolled in a degree-granting program at an accredited college or university, or who is a qualified scholar engaged in study or research.

The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) funds the Linnaeus-Palme programme, part of which offers teachers and students in developing countries the opportunity to come to Sweden. The programme is administered by Sweden's International Programme Office for Education and Training. NOTE: You can not apply directly for scholarships as a student - the programme offers a framework for cooperation between a Swedish university and one in the developing world, part of which involves student exchange.

STINT, The Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education, has decided to discontinue the STINT Scholarship Programme in its current format. No scholarships will be made available for courses during the academic year 2005/06. The programme is now being evaluated and the STINT Foundation is considering alternative mechanisms that will attract outstanding foreign young academics to higher education institutions in Sweden.

Hi legaldocs,
Thank you for the information. I studied those scholarship opportunities, but eligibility is restricted to particular countries, of which mine is not among.

I got the reply from Stockholm on the 6th May. They still have a waiting list so that those who can not make it this way, their places can be filled.

Regards
Anderson
