Boost your international career as a Scholar at the SCC in London

1 November 2023

The SCC is proud to announce three scholarships available for a new cohort of young talents to join the SCC Scholarship Programme in 2024/25. The programme lasts for 12 months and has served as a platform to launch many successful alumni careers over the years. The scholarships have been made possible through generous donations from: Elof Hansson Foundation, Gull & Stellan Ljungberg Foundation, and Sparbankstiftelsen Finn.

London and the UK has attracted Swedish talent for centuries, and with its vibrant atmosphere and diversity, London has a lot to offer both its residents and businesses. For many, making it in the UK is seen as the gateway to the rest of the world. This is probably one of the reasons for the 1,000+ Swedish businesses with a footprint here and the 100,000+ Swedes residing in the country. Applying to our scholarship programme gives you the unique opportunity to join the Swedish Chamber of Commerce for the UK for a full year in London – the world’s leading financial centre, and Europe’s business capital.

In memory of Gull and Stellan Ljungberg, a majority of the foundation's return is each year distributed to young students from the municipalities of Uddevalla and Trollhättan. The foundation prioritises applicants who study, participate in exchange semesters, or do fieldwork abroad.

Gull and Stellan ran a leather factory together in Uddevalla during their active years. They both travelled a lot and strived for new knowledge continuously. They made extensive use of both the English and German languages and had a great interest in international business and cultural life.
