Financial aid for studies: International students

The programme is accredited by the Kingdom of Sweden, and therefore may qualify for financial aid for studies to students from many countries the world over, that provides this possibility to their citizens. A few of the many that do, are Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and the self-governing Åland Islands. But there are of course also many others that provide this possibility.

If you are not a Swedish citizen but still have a residence permit for Sweden, for another reason than studies, you may also be eligible to apply for financial aid for studies on the same basis as a Swedish citizen.
