Dalarna University Scholarships for International Students in Sweden, 2023

Every year, Dalarna University awards partial scholarships to a number of its new international, fee-paying Master’s students who have proven themselves to be outstanding in their educational endeavours.

Dalarna University
Application Deadline: March 15th.

Amount of Scholarship

Our scholarships go directly towards a reduction in your tuition fees and will cover between 10 and 50 percent of your total tuition fees. The amount that you are awarded is automatically deducted in set amounts each semester over the duration of your programme. 

Scholarships for new students

Tuition fee waivers are only available for studying a Master’s degree programme which is offered on-campus. You only need to apply once for your scholarship and this you do before the start of your programme.

  • Applications for scholarships for the autumn 2023 are currently open. The deadline to apply for a scholarship is March 15th. 
  • Applications for scholarships for the studies that commence in January are open between September 1st and September 30th. 

Application Process
A complete scholarship application has three parts:

  1. The online scholarship application 
  2. A CV/résumé (uploaded to your University Admissions account)
  3. A video where you explain why you should receive a scholarship

In the video (no more than 60 seconds long), you need to explain why you should be awarded a scholarship from Dalarna University. You will need to upload this video to a website or cloud storage so that it can be viewed by the scholarship committee: include the link to the video in your scholarship application where indicated. We must be able to view the video using only the link provided.

Do not e-mail the video or send any documents directly to Dalarna University. All documents can be uploaded before or during the scholarship application period, which is seperate from the application period for Master Degree studies at UniversityAdmissions.se

You can use any device to create this video. If you are using a laptop with a webcam, then there are many websites that let you easily create a video.

You need to ensure you complete the online application form and upload the above documents by the final dates stated above (i.e., September 30 or March 15, depending on the semester). If you do not submit all documents by the final date, then your application will be considered incomplete and will not be processed.

Selection Process and Scholarship Decisions

The Marketing and Communication Office, together with Programme Directors, will review your scholarship application and decide whether or not you will receive a scholarship.

In our selection process, we focus on your previous academic success, relevant work experience and motivational statement. We give priority to applicants who list Dalarna University as their first choice on universityadmissions.se and who are admitted in the first application round. If you are awarded a scholarship you must complete at least 20 credits in your programme of study each semester in order to continue to be eligible for the scholarship.

Note that there is no age limit for applicants to our partial scholarships and that they are open to fee-paying students only.

We normally select between 3-6 applicants for a partial tuition-fee waiver for the Spring semester and around 40-50 applicants for a partial tuition-fee waiver for the autumn semester.

Decision

We make our decision on who will receive a partial scholarship by these dates:

Decision date for spring semester: November 1
Decision date for autumn semester: April 15
Please note that the decision date may change (by a week or so) depending on the number of applicants. You may contact us to enquire about the status of your scholarship award after the decision dates: study@du.se.
