ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Dalarna University's current scholarship structure is important to understand before applying. The university's own scholarships are not fully funded scholarships and do not provide a monthly living stipend. The main scholarship for new master's applicants is the 5,000 SEK Choose Dalarna First Scholarship, while the Academic Excellence Scholarship is available based on academic performance after studies begin.

For applicants starting in January 2027, Dalarna University states that applications for the Choose Dalarna First Scholarship will open in August 2026, with the scholarship application deadline being 15 September 2026.

Applicants interested in a genuinely fully funded opportunity should also investigate the Swedish Institute Scholarship for Global Professionals (SISGP) separately, as it is administered independently from Dalarna University's scholarships and has its own eligibility requirements.
