About the Lund University Global Scholarship programme

Approximately SEK 15 million (€1.5 million / US $1.8 million) awarded in scholarship grants each year

To enable students to start their studies despite the financial hardship brought by the Covid-19 pandemic, Lund University dedicated extra funds to scholarships for the academic years of 2020 and 2021 and a total of approximately SEK 21 million (€2.1 million / US $2.5 million) and 20 million (€2 million / US $2.4 million) were awarded for these years respectively.

A selective, merit-based scholarship to recognise top academic students from outside the EU/EEA

As a top 100 university and ranked in the top 0.4% of universities in the world, Lund University attracts high achieving students from across the globe. The Lund University Global Scholarship programme seeks to recognise these students by awarding academic excellence grants.

Scholarship recipients have a proven record of achieving consistently high grades in their previous studies and are assessed as being a good fit for our programmes. The scholarship is selective, competitive and merit-based.

Scholarship grants may cover partial or up to the full tuition fee. The scholarship percentage awarded depends on budget available to the programme/faculty. It has no reflection on the students’ academic level of excellence. Please note that scholarships are toward tuition fees only and that living costs are not covered. Scholarship recipients must still be able to fund their living costs, as per the requirements of the Swedish Migration Agency.

When and how to apply

The application period for the Lund University Global Scholarship for autumn 2021 studies is now closed. The next application round will open in February 2022. Please check back here for the exact date and deadline.

To be able to apply and be considered for a Lund University Global Scholarship, you must first have applied to the programme(s) or free-standing course(s) you wish to study at Lund University. You do this through the online, national application website – www.universityadmissions.se – during the application period. Once you have made a complete application to a degree programme or free-standing courses of at least 30 ECTS credits, and have paid the application fee, you will be able to apply for the scholarship. Note that the scholarship portal is different from the national application portal for studies. The link to the scholarship application portal is published here on this web page during the scholarship application period.

(*If you are applying to a programme in Fine Art or Music or applying in the later application round, March–April, you will be contacted via email regarding when and how to apply for the scholarship)

When to apply to programmes and courses

As part of the online scholarship application, you need to upload your personal ‘scholarship motivation letter’ (maximum 600 words) in the scholarship application portal. Please note that the scholarship motivation letter is different from any statement of purpose you may be required to submit as part of your programme-specific application documents. Your scholarship motivation letter should explain why your academic performance and reasons for applying to Lund University make you a suitable potential recipient for a Lund University Global Scholarship.

You can only apply for one Lund University Global Scholarship for the programmes or courses that you have selected at Lund University in a specific application round. However, it is possible for you to apply to other scholarships, for example the Swedish Institute scholarships, in addition.

Selection process – based on academic merits

The selection process for scholarships is undertaken in parallel with the programme/course selection process. Priority will be given to students with high academic performance, who are assessed as a good fit for the programme, who demonstrate a strong commitment and desire to study at Lund University and have selected a programme/course at Lund University as their first choice/choices when applying at www.universityadmissions.se.

As the scholarship is merit based only, no consideration is taken of the students’ financial needs in the selection process.

Rwanda Information Society Authority “RISA” is a government institution established in 2017, governed by the law No 02/2017 of 18/02/2017. RISA has the mission of digitizing the Rwandan society through an increased usage of ICT as a cross-cutting enabler for the development of other sectors “Championing Rwanda’s Digital Transformation”.

Rwanda Information Society Authority has the mandate of planning and coordinating the implementation of national ICT for Development Agenda. In this perspective, RISA, in partnership with stakeholders and partners work to digitize government services and ensure easy access by the citizens.1

RISA must lead the implementation of ICT policy in Rwanda and streamline research, innovation, and infrastructure investment, including the digitization of government services, to fast-track economic growth. RISA works in collaboration with many government actors to realize these objectives and receives a broad range of requests from these government actors for support.

The project “Digital Solutions for Sustainable Development”(DSSD) advises Rwandan institutions on the implementation of the Smart Rwanda Master Plan and its priority projects. The project aims at promoting the development of digital solutions in collaboration with sector ministries, local and international private companies, research institutions, and civil society. The development of those pioneering solutions will be supported and managed by a dynamic team of experts based in the newly created Centre for Digital Transformation (DigiCenter) – a project unit of DSSD.

Context

The project “Digital Solutions for Sustainable Development”(DSSD) is advising MINICT, RISA, and Rwandan institutions on the digitization of various priority sectors.

As part of the mandate to strengthen the innovation ecosystem and the impact of ICTs in Rwanda to promote economic development and sustainable solution development, the DSSD program works with RISA as a key partner in both promoting the development of digital solutions and building capacity for digital transformation.

The recent exercise to consolidate and re-organize the IT structures across the entire public sector has resulted into the re-organization of the IT support function to ensure that public institutions and other stakeholders have access to quality support as they embark on the journey to implement the government agenda for digital transformation. The immediate need for RISA is to make sure that it has effective resources and capacity to deliver its mandate. 2
