Scholarships and Trainee program

You as a student can apply for scholarships during your studies. A scholarship is a financial contribution from a fund or other actor and they are often linked to your field of study, your place of study or your city of study.

Trainee programs are usually aimed at newly graduated students at universities and colleges or young professionals, ie. those who have been in working life for a few years.

Contact the respective actor if you as a student have questions about an individual scholarship or a trainee program.

The Hamrin Foundation’s impact award/scholarship

The purpose of the Hamrin Foundation is to support scientific, technical, and societal research. The Hamrin Foundation supports research that makes a notable and distinct contribution to popular education in the surrounding society or increased knowledge and competence in the private or public sector. Students who receive funding from Hamrin Foundation must have a plan for how the research will benefit potential recipients.

Masters or bachelor students with thesis work that is of interest to academia, private sector, public sector, and society can apply for The Hamrin Foundation’s impact award/scholarship.
In 2024, we will focus on two areas:

1. Challenges to the public discourse – Is public discourse being constrained?
An open debate and acceptance of different views is key to democracy but over the last years, a cancel culture has emerged in which people or subjects that are not considered “politically correct” are met with intolerance. A symptom is the so-called cancel culture, in which someone is thrust out of social or professional circles – whether it be online, on social media, in traditional media, or in person – because of inconvenient views.

2. What role can art and technology play in solving societal issues?
Throughout history, art and technology have responded to social unrest and inequality. Additionally, it can serve as a catalyst for hard conversations about various societal challenges. It is an effective tool for addressing social issues as well as focusing the community on these issues. The importance of an interdisciplinary approach cannot be overstated.
We welcome applications from students in the social sciences, humanities, fine art, and STEM fields. The submission can be in the form of a written thesis or an artistic work.

The application must include a description that defines the type of research/impact that has been carried out. Approved applications receive a personal scholarship (which is intended to be tax-free) of SEK 50,000. A maximum of two scholarships will be awarded. In its assessment, The Hamrin Foundation will strive for an even distribution between our focus areas.

The announcement takes place annually, with an opening in April and a closing in September. To be the subject of assessment, the thesis must have been presented to the public with an approved result no later than September.

Kreditkoll's scholarship of SEK 5,000

The swedish big banks' physical offices are becoming fewer and fewer and getting competition from fast-moving new players such as neobanks and upstart banks. New currencies are popping up at an exceptional rate. We live in an age of digitization, increased mobility, new ways of shopping and new forms of communication. The digital transformation and technological innovation in the financial sector is attracting a lot of money from venture capitalists.

Sweden is often at the forefront when it comes to disruptive ideas and implementation, but we often get many of these new innovations and business models through meetings with people in other countries, for example through studying abroad.

Kreditkoll wants to promote this direction with a scholarship, Kreditkoll's scholarship of SEK 5,000, which is awarded either to someone who writes an essay on the subject of Fintech or completes all or part of their studies abroad.


Last day to apply: Spring semester 2024-04-30 Autumn semester  2024-10-31
