STINT Scholarship for Academic Excellence

The Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education - STINT - has initiated a new scholarship programme for foreign students at international master programmes in Sweden. STINT has invited a number of foreign universities to nominate candidates to the programme.

SSAE is a scholarship programme for students attending two-year international master’s programmes at Swedish universities. The purpose of the program is to attract excellent students from eminent universities in Asia, Latin America and Africa. STINT has the long-term ambition of increasing the cooperation in research and higher education between Sweden and these regions. The foreign partner universities have been selected in collaboration with Swedish universities.

Students must apply themselves to the international master programmes at a Swedish university. The foreign partner universities then have the opportunity of nominating candidates to the programme. Students can not apply for scholarships on their own.

The universities who are invited to nominate students for the academic year 2009/10 are ITESM Campus Monterrey and Campus Querétaro in Mexico, KNUST in Ghana, KAIST and POSTECH in South Korea, Peking University, Tsinghua University and Zhejiang Univeristy in China.
