Signe och Olof Wallenius Stiftelse - Signe and Olof Wallenius Scholarship

Signe and Olof Wallenius Scholarship

You will receive a sum of one-off grant of 10,000 to 15,000 SEK (about 900 to 1,330 EUR). This is a one-off payment, not a monthly or annual grant. The exact amount depends on how many applications are received this year. The money comes from the Signe och Olof Wallenius Stiftelse, a Swedish foundation established in 1984 which supports training in the fields of shipping, logistics and sustainability.

Who can apply

• Field of study: You’re studying shipping, logistics or sustainability.
• Length of programme: Your degree course lasts at least 3 years.
• Maritime officer training: If you are training to become a ship’s officer, you will only receive funding for the last two years of your course. At the time of applying, you must already have started your final or penultimate year of study.
• Language: Please write your application in Swedish.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply.
• Where you study: You can study at any university or college.

How to apply

You must submit your application documents to the Foundation every year between 1 January and 15 March. You will need a signed personal cover letter detailing your studies and your goals, as well as a certificate of enrolment showing your grades and your academic transcripts. There is no interview. The Board of Trustees will make a decision in May and notify you by email.
