Scholarship for living expenses

The scholarship was founded in 2001 and is aimed at students with difficulties affording the living costs in Sweden.

The two scholarships awarded every year are for SEK 124 200 per year (about EUR 10 600) each, and aim to cover the cost of living and accommodation from August to July, during the two years of study. This scholarship is open to all students admitted to the programme.

The selection of scholarship recipients is based on a personal motivation statement included in the application form below.

Scholarship for tuition fees

When the Swedish government decided to apply tuition fees for non-EU/EEA students, the Stichting IKEA Foundation established two new scholarships for tuition fees. Each scholarship is SEK 245 000 per year for two years.

The selection of scholarship recipients is based on the applicants’ portfolio, and the tuition fees will be paid directly to Lund University. This scholarship is only open to non-EU/EEA citizens admitted to the programme.
