The Scholarship Fund for Swedish Youth Abroad has been offering a scholarship since 2018 for young talents to gain international experience by joining the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in London for a period of 12 months.
The Scholarship Fund For Swedish Youth Abroad was founded in 1937 as part of the 50 year anniversary of 'Sveriges Allmänna Utrikeshandelsförening' (Swedish Association of Foreign Trade).
The foundation grants scholarships for studies in Sweden or Swedish schools abroad, for Swedish language summer courses, for TISUS tests, as well as for internships at Swedish Chambers of Commerce abroad and for Swedish School Associations.
To apply for this scholarship, you must have recently completed your studies at a bachelor's or master's level at a Swedish university.
Due to visa requirements, applicants must not have turned 26 years of age on or before 1 May 2025.
The application process for the 2025/2026 scholarships is now closed. However, we welcome spontaneous applications at any time.
This is a general application process — candidates do not apply for a specific scholarship but are matched with the most suitable opportunity as they arise. If you’d like to be considered for future opportunities, please send a cover letter and CV (in English) to Chief Executive Fredrik Warneryd at applications@scc.org.uk. Be sure to include “Scholarship Application – Spontaneous” in the subject line.
At the Chamber, I learnt a lot about taking responsibility, accountability, and taking my first stumbling step into my international career. It has been an invaluable year, and I was really, really happy about it. So, I would encourage everyone to apply for this scholarship. It's a great opportunity.
