Environmental Scholarships from Sveriges Ingenjörer

Apply for a scholarship to contribute to a greener future!
As a student, you now have the opportunity to receive support for a degree project that makes a real difference – for the environment, society, and the future.

Through the Environmental Fund’s scholarship, you get the chance to realize an idea that could lead to a new product, service, or solution that promotes sustainable development in Sweden. Turn your thesis into something greater – make it a step toward change.

The inaugural call for applications in autumn 2025 attracted 28 submissions

From students enrolled in engineering programmes and international master’s programmes at the Faculty of Science and Technology. Of these, ten degree projects have now been selected to receive an environmental scholarship of SEK 50,000 each.

Who Can Apply?

All students enrolled in a Master of Science in Engineering or an international master's programme at the Faculty of Science and Technology who will carry out their degree project in the spring of 2026 are welcome to apply.

The scholarship is not available to students in bachelor's or university engineering (högskoleingenjör) programmes.

Each scholarship is worth SEK 50,000 per project. If you are conducting a joint project, you submit one shared application. A total of ten projects will be nominated by the faculty and submitted to Sveriges Ingenjörer.
