Hedvig och Victor Renströms stiftelse - Renström education scholarship

Renström education scholarship

You get money towards vocational training, either higher theoretical study or practical training. The scholarship comes from a Swedish foundation set up in 1959. The foundation does not publish a fixed amount. It decides each case individually and pays out once a year, usually at the end of November. Its aim is to help young people from the old Skaraborg county train for a job.

Who can apply

• Where you are from: You were born in, or live in, one of the municipalities that made up Skaraborg county before 1 January 1998: Essunga, Falkoping, Grastorp, Gullspang, Gotene, Habo, Hjo, Karlsborg, Lidkoping, Mariestad, Mullsjo, Skara, Skovde, Tibro, Tidaholm, Toreboda or Vara. Being born in one of them is enough.
• Type of study: You are doing vocational training, either higher theoretical study or practical training.
• Age: Your training must finish before you turn 35.
• Financial need: The foundation prefers applicants who cannot easily pay for their studies themselves.
• Nationality and gender: Anyone can apply. The foundation sets no limit on nationality or gender.

How to apply

You apply through the foundation's online portal. The window runs every year from 1 September to 31 October. Attach proof of enrolment or an admission letter, plus a certificate showing where you live.
