Apply Now for the Mälardalen University Scholarship Programme for International Students to Pursue Studies in Sweden (Full Tuition Fee Coverage)
About the Mälardalen University Scholarship Programme
Each academic year, Mälardalen University provides a select number of scholarships dedicated to international applicants who choose one of the University’s Master’s programmes as their primary study option. This prestigious scholarship fully covers 100% of the tuition fees for the duration of the chosen programme, provided that the student adheres to the standard study progression requirements—that is, completing at least 22.5 credits per semester and a minimum of 45 credits per academic year.
It is important to note that this scholarship exclusively covers tuition fees and does not contribute towards living costs or other personal expenses. Additionally, if a student's status changes from fee-paying to non-fee-paying during their studies, the scholarship will be revoked.
First Choice Requirement
To be eligible for consideration, applicants must have selected a Mälardalen University Master’s programme as their first priority during the application process. Furthermore, all necessary supporting documents must be submitted before the deadlines set by University Admissions, and the application fee must be paid promptly.
This scholarship targets highly qualified candidates from countries outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland, who are obligated to pay tuition fees. However, it is not available for students from the twelve countries with which Sweden maintains long-term development cooperation: Bangladesh, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mali, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. Applicants from these nations should consider applying to the Swedish Institute Study Scholarship instead.
How to Submit Your Application for the Mälardalen University Scholarship
Prospective students interested in this scholarship must complete the dedicated Scholarship application form and submit it alongside their other application documents through the official portal at universityadmissions.se. The final date to upload all supporting materials and scholarship documentation is 2 February 2026.
Applicants will be informed about the outcome of their scholarship request via email between 27 and 31 March 2026. The University will use the same email address provided during the University Admissions application process to communicate scholarship decisions.
