Fredrika Bremer Förbundets Stipendiestiftelse
The Fredrika Bremer Association's Scholarship Foundation annually awards study scholarships to young full-time female students at the university level. The foundation was established in 1887 with the initiative of Sophie Leijonhufvud-Adlersparre (Esselde), a leading force in the women's movements of the 19th century who also founded the Swedish Red Cross and Friends of Handicraft before establishing the Fredrika Bremer Association in 1884. Over the years, the foundation has received numerous donations, several designated for specific professional training for women. Additionally, there are a number of scholarships for those who are both born and raised in the same county (län) in Sweden. The scholarships support young women pursuing higher education studies and applications are accepted annually during a specific period. The foundation continues the legacy of promoting women's education and professional development that began over a century ago.
