Stockholm University – Faculty of Social Sciences - Bagges, Gösta, stipendiestiftelse

What you get

You receive a one-off award of 25,000 SEK (about 2,200 EUR). The scholarship runs for one year, from 1 September to 31 August. It is one of the donation scholarships of the Faculty of Social Sciences at Stockholm University, paid from an endowment for students of social work.

Who can apply

• Field of study: You study or have graduated in social work at Stockholm University's Department of Social Work (Socialhögskolan).
• What you plan to do: You continue in advanced social-policy or municipal training and research, at Stockholm University or a comparable institution in Sweden or abroad.
• Ability: You can show strong ability in social work.
• Study level: Doctoral (research) students get priority, but you can still apply at other levels.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply, as long as you study at Stockholm University.

How to apply

You apply once a year through the university's shared online portal (minastipendier.se). Log in with your university account. The application window is 15 March to 15 April. You get the decision by email in mid-June.

How realistic are your chances?

This award is narrow: only social-work students at one department qualify, and doctoral students come first. That keeps the eligible group small. If you fit that profile and can show strong ability, your prospects are good. The amount is modest and comes from a single small fund, so treat it as a top-up rather than full funding.
