The Uppsala Student of the Year award was founded by the Anders Wall Foundation and was awarded for the first time in the year 2000.

The scholarship is awarded to a student who has:

Everyone with a connection to the University, both organisations and individuals, may nominate candidates for the scholarship. For instance individual students and teachers, alumni, student nations, faculty boards, departments and other organisations and associations. The scholarship is 150 000 kr.

The 2024 nomination period is closed.

The Wallumni network

The Anders Wall Foundation annually awards scholarships to young talents in the fields of scientific research, entrepreneurship, rural development, international studies and classical music.

The financial element of the scholarship is of course important to the recipient, but the unique aspect of this scholarship – and what makes it so dynamic – is that the recipient becomes part of the prestigious Wallumni network. Members meet regularly for exclusive activities and study trips and support each other in many different respects
