Funding for exchange studies
Exchange students don't pay tuition fees at the exchange university. However, there might be administrative fees, usually under 1000 SEK. There are often scholarships available to cover extra costs for travelling. There is great competition for all scholarships, so applications must be thoroughly prepared and adapted to the relevant organisation.
Student finance from CSN
If you are a Swedish citizen, you can continue to receive student finance from The Swedish Board of Student Finance, CSN, during your exchange studies. When you are going to study an exchange semester at a university abroad, you apply for student finance for the exchange university. In the application, fill in the start and end dates for your exchange period. Learn more on csn.se (info in Swedish).
Are you a foreign citizen that wishes to go on exchange studies? Normally, only Swedish citizens can receive student finance for studies outside of Sweden, but in some cases foreign citizens can as well. First, you must satisfy the conditions necessary to be entitled to Swedish student finance. Learn more on student finance for foregin citizens (csn.se) .
Financing opportunities in and outside Europe
Several funding options depend on whether you are going on an exchange to a university in or outside Europe. For studies in Europe, you can apply for an Erasmus scholarship to cover additional costs. For studies outside Europe, there are other scholarships. Some of KTH's schools also offer travel grants.
