Scholarships for fee-paying students

Scholarships are a great source of funding for prospective master's students who are liable to pay tuition fees. Some of these are administered by Chalmers and some by other foundations and associations. Additional scholarships may be added to the list and you are therefore advised to check this webpage regularly.

Scholarships for master's studies, administered by Chalmers

The application period for scholarships administered by Chalmers for Master's programmes will be open from late November 2026 until Mid-January 2027.

There is a separate application process for Chalmers-administered scholarships. You can only apply once you have submitted your programme application at  universityadmissions.se, as you will need to provide that application number.

You can apply for a scholarship before completing your programme application with the necessary documentation.
It is important to familiarise yourself with the key dates.
Please note that the scholarship deadline aligns with the programme application deadline, not the deadline for submitting supporting documentation.
Key dates for master's studies

The scholarships listed below are for prospective students only. Applications must be submitted prior to the start of the first academic year at Chalmers as they are not open to current students. Scholarship offers are valid for two years of study under certain conditions. These conditions are outlined in the Scholarship Regulations.

Being granted alternative or complementary funding from external patrons does not affect the possibility of obtaining scholarships from Chalmers as an applicant's financial status is not taken into account during the nomination process.

    Cost of living

    ​Your living cost mainly depends on your lifestyle and can, therefore, vary quite much from student to student. Sweden may not be t​he cheapest country to live in, but if you plan ahead and make a monthly budget there is no reason to feel your money will not last. Also, make sure to look for student discounts as many stores and restaurants have great deals for students.
