About Lund University

The Lund University Global Scholarship program is targeted at top academic students who are citizens of countries from outside the European Union/European Economic Area (and Switzerland). As a top 100 university and ranked in the top 0.4% of universities in the world, Lund University attracts high achieving students from across the globe. The Lund University Global Scholarship program seeks to recognize these students by awarding academic excellence grants.   Scholarship recipients have a proven record of achieving consistently high grades in their previous studies and are assessed as being a good fit for our programs. The scholarship is selective, competitive, and merit-based.   Scholarship grants may cover 25%, 50%, 75%, or up to 100% of the tuition fee. The scholarship percentage awarded depends on the budget available to the program/faculty. It has no reflection on the students’ academic level of excellence. Please note that scholarships are toward tuition fees only and that living costs are not covered. Scholarship recipients must still be able to fund their living costs, as per the requirements of the Swedish Migration Board.
