Borlänge-Faluföretagens högskolestipendium - Borlänge-Falun University Scholarship

Borlänge-Falun University Scholarship

You receive 20,000 SEK per year (about 1,800 EUR) for one year. Up to four students get it each year. It goes to full-time students at Dalarna University (Högskolan Dalarna) who live in the region and do voluntary social work in their spare time. A group of 12 companies from the Borlänge and Falun area fund it together with the Dalarna Student Union. Winners are presented at an event in the spring and get a certificate.

Who can apply

• University: You study full time in a programme at Dalarna University (Högskolan Dalarna).
• Where you live: Your home is in Dalarna, in central Sweden.
• Study results: You studied full time in the previous spring semester. You can show your earned university credits and grades.
• Volunteering: Alongside your studies you do unpaid social work in Borlänge and/or Falun. For example, you help people through a club, association, organisation, company or the student union, or you work on career fairs. Two references must confirm this.
• Field of study: Any programme at the university counts.

How to apply

Apply through the online form on the Tunabyggen student website by 30 November. Later applications are not considered. A jury of company representatives and the student union scores applicants on grades and social engagement and decides by 28 February.
