The Saven Foundation Scholarship

The Saven Foundation Scholarship is made possible thanks to a contribution from Inger and Bjorn Saven. The scholarship is intended for young talents who demonstrate a robust entrepreneurial spirit. Winning candidates are given the opportunity to spend a full year in London and gain valuable international experience as part of the team at the Swedish Chamber of Commerce for the UK (SCCUK).

About the scholarship

Given its role as Europe’s business capital, London is an exceptional place to nurture talents. Therefore, The Saven Foundation Scholarship was established to support the SCC in providing students from all over Sweden the opportunity to grow, learn, and develop in this unique environment.

Saven Foundation Scholarship is intended to be the groundwork for a lasting and fruitful partnership for everyone involved.

Eligibility

To apply for this scholarship, you must have recently graduated from a Swedish university or equivalent institution.

Due to visa requirements, applicants must not have turned 26 years of age on or before 1 May 2025.

Application 

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.
