External scholarships

Most scholarships at Uppsala University are announced at the beginning of each semester and are administrated by the Scholarships Office. In addition to these, there are a number of scholarships that are announced through other organisations. These have other application dates and you apply for them in other ways than through the university scholarship system.

Scholarships at the student nations

The student nations administer scholarships, which are applied through the Scholarships Office as well as through the nation. Check with your nation whether they have scholarships to apply for:
