Drottning Silvias Jubileumsfond

Stiftelsen Drottning Silvias Jubileumsfond provides grants for research on children and disabilities. The fund annually distributes scholarships that can be applied for by students admitted to doctoral programs at universities and colleges in Sweden. Each year, a specific research area is prioritized, which is announced when the call for applications is published. The foundation was established in connection with Queen Silvia's 50th birthday to manage and distribute funds contributed by the Swedish people as a tribute to the Queen. The scholarships are awarded annually on Queen Silvia's birthday, December 23, with a formal presentation ceremony held at the Royal Palace in Stockholm in late January, where recipients receive their scholarships from the Queen herself.
