Sweden - Open Study/Research Award

Up to 9 awards are available for U.S. students wishing to study at the graduate level and/or conduct independent supervised research in Sweden. The grant provides a maintenance allowance for 9 months and a one-time relocation allowance to cover round-trip travel to and from Sweden and minor costs associated with relocation. The Fulbright grant is intended to cover living expenses and does not cover tuition fees. Grantees are expected to schedule their academic programs to coincide with the Swedish academic year (September 2026 – May 2027). Recently graduated bachelor students up to the Ph.D. dissertation level across all disciplines are welcome. Awards are available for candidates applying for a master's degree program in Sweden (1 or 2 years), candidates who wish to conduct supervised research at a Swedish university or research institution, and current doctoral students in the U.S. planning to pursue research in Sweden toward their dissertation. Academic qualifications should be specific to a clear and feasible project or study plan. Candidates must be mature, self-motivated individuals who are capable of working independently with little supervision and demonstrate adaptability, resilience, and openness.
