The Scholarship Fund for Swedish Youth Abroad has been offering a scholarship since 2018 for young talents to gain international experience by joining the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in London for a period of 12 months.
The Scholarship Fund For Swedish Youth Abroad was founded in 1937 as part of the 50 year anniversary of 'Sveriges Allmänna Utrikeshandelsförening' (Swedish Association of Foreign Trade).
The foundation grants scholarships for studies in Sweden or Swedish schools abroad, for Swedish language summer courses, for TISUS tests, as well as for internships at Swedish Chambers of Commerce abroad and for Swedish School Associations.
To apply for this scholarship, you must have recently completed your studies at a bachelor's or master's level at a Swedish university.
The application period for 2021/2022 is closed. Applications for 2022/2023 scholarships will open in December 2021.
At the Chamber, I learnt a lot about taking responsibility, accountability, and taking my first stumbling step into my international career. It has been an invaluable year, and I was really, really happy about it. So, I would encourage everyone to apply for this scholarship. It's a great opportunity.

"Being a scholar gives you a unique possibility of working with some of the most exciting Swedish companies in the world, some of the most talented people within different fields, and gives you a great insight into the UK business environment."
