• Full tuition fee for your master's programme, paid directly to the university so you never handle that money yourself.
• A living allowance of SEK 12,000 per month for the duration of your studies, to help with rent, food and day-to-day costs.
• A one-time travel grant of SEK 15,000 to cover getting to and from Sweden.
• Insurance against illness and accident during your time in Sweden.
• Membership of the SI Network for Global Professionals, a long-term community of scholarship holders and alumni for collaboration and networking.
• The allowance is meant to cover one person. It does not include extra money for family members, so plan accordingly if you intend to bring dependants.
