Gustavus Adolphus College - Stipendium (boende och kurslitteratur) för UU-studenter

What you get

You get free campus housing and free course books at Gustavus Adolphus College (GAC) in Saint Peter, Minnesota. This covers your whole exchange there. It is support in kind, not a cash payment, so no fixed amount is named. Gustavus Adolphus College gives it to exchange students from Uppsala University. You can also keep your Swedish student aid (studiemedel from CSN) on top. The exchange runs for one semester, two semesters or a full academic year, in autumn and/or spring.

Who can apply

• Your university: You study at Uppsala University.
• Exchange place: You have been chosen for an exchange spot at Gustavus Adolphus College through Uppsala University's central exchange programme.
• Field of study: All subjects are welcome. The exchange covers areas such as Scandinavian studies, history, literature, political science and sciences, taught in Swedish or English.
• Grades: You need a grade average of about 3.3 GPA.

How to apply

You do not apply for this support separately. If Uppsala University picks you for an exchange place at Gustavus Adolphus College, they contact you with the details automatically. The deadline to apply for the exchange itself is 1 February, for both autumn and spring.

How realistic are your chances?

This support is tied to one thing: getting an exchange spot at GAC through Uppsala University. So the real competition is for that place, not for the housing and books. If you are an Uppsala student who meets the grade requirement and is chosen for GAC, the housing and books come with it. That makes your prospects good once you are in. Applying early and having a solid grade average strengthen your case for the exchange place.
