Sweden used to be one of the few European countries where students paid no tuition. Since 2010, a law has required tuition and application fees from students outside the EU and EEA, and Swedish scholarship programs were created to offset those costs. Many Swedish universities still award scholarships that take the form of tuition waivers for international students.
Swedish Institute Scholarships for Global Professionals
The Swedish Institute Scholarships for Global Professionals (SISGP) are for highly qualified students from selected countries and fund full-time master's level studies in Sweden. Tuition fees, living costs and insurance are all covered.
