If you are applying to the master's programme in Mathematics, you must apply for a scholarship through Stockholm University. Students admitted to an EIT programme not listed above and students who hold an Erasmus Mundus Scholarship are not eligible for the scholarship.

"This scholarship has enabled me to broaden my horizons. While pursuing my bachelor's and master's degrees, I worked part-time to support myself financially, but now I can put my best foot forward in all I'm passionate about."
