Scholarships for exchange studies abroad

If you plan to study abroad or do a traineeship within the EU/EES, then you can apply for the EU financed Erasmus+ scholarship. For studies and traineeships outside of Europe, there are limited possibilites to apply for scholarships through various types of associations and networks.

CSN- Swedish Board of Student Aid
If you qualify for CSN financial aid for studies in Sweden, then you can apply for CSN also for exchange studies. Contact CSN for more information.

Erasmus+ scholarship for exchange studies or traineeships
If you have been accepted for exchange studies at a partner university within Europe/EES you are eligble to apply for the Erasmus+ scholarship. It is also possible to apply for additional scholarship if you have special needs due to a disability, or if bringing your child.

Erasmus+ scholarship for studies

If you have an internship/traineeship in your programme, or if you will do an internship in the EU/EES related to your studies during a school break or after completion of your programme, you may qualify for the Erasmus+ scholarship for traineeship. 

The insurance Student OUT provided by Kammarkollegiets and the possibility to do an online language course for free is also included in the Erasmus+ scholarship.

Train scholarship Erasmus+
If you choose to travel by train instead of plane to your study/trainee destination within Erasmus+ you may qualify for an extra 190 EUR travel stipend. The travel stipend can be used for train tickets or to partly cover a train travel card. If you choose to travel by train and make stop-overs in other countries during your journey, make sure that you have sufficient insurance. The Student UT insurance is valid only in the country where you will study/trainee and during direct travel there.

In case of more applications than available funding, awards are determined by lottery.
