We encourage you to apply for scholarships as soon as possible, since this will greatly expedite the assessment process. However, there is no correlation between how early you submit the application and the likelihood of receiving a scholarship.

Note, prior to your scholarship application you must first make an online application to at least one of the Master’s programmes offered by Chalmers, at the website universityadmissions.se (see section 1-3 above). You will be assigned an 8 digit application number (at universityadmissions.se) and this number is required in order to complete the scholarship application.

The scholarship application portal

Make sure to have your 8 digit application number at hand (from your account/application at universityadmissions.se).
Make sure to use the same e-mail address as the one you registered in your account on universityadmissions.se.
Please note that the electronic application form is used only for the scholarships administrated and awarded by Chalmers. You may apply for multiple scholarships, provided that the eligibility requirements are fulfilled.
All submitted data must be verifiable against the documents submitted as part of your master's programme application on universityadmissions.se.
The verification code will be sent to your e-mail within a few minutes. If not, check your junk e-mail.
You can make changes to your scholarship application up until the application deadline. After the deadline, the scholarship portal is closed and your application cannot be changed.

Terms and conditions

Your scholarship application will not be considered if you:

did not pay the application fee by the deadline.

The current dates for this year's application can be found under Key dates for master's studies.

Notification and mandatory confirmation of awarded scholarships

The scholarship awardees will receive the offer between March and the beginning of May.\ Chalmers admissions (scholarship committee) cannot give any preliminary notifications regardless of whether a scholarship applicant will be offered a scholarship or not. However, all applicants for scholarships administrated by Chalmers will be notified when the selection is completed.

If you receive an offer, you have to confirm that you accept the scholarship offer by the deadline specified in the notification.
