The Örebro University Scholarship programme is aimed at top academic students from countries outside the European Union, European Economic Area and Switzerland, who are required to pay tuition fees for studies starting after June 2011. The scholarship covers full or partial tuition fees. It does not cover living expenses, which means that you will have to finance your own living expenses.

Read more about the living expense requirements by the Swedish Migration Agency. (See “You must be able to support yourself”).

The number of awarded scholarships varies every year but commonly covers 4-5 students per academic year. Read more about study fees.
