Make sure to complete your application to the master’s programmes that you wish to apply to before the deadline 15 January 2014. You apply by using the national online application service Universityadmissions.se . Pay your application fee to University Admissions before the fee deadline of 3 February 2014. Please make sure to check for any updates at Universityadmissions.se. Once you have submitted your application to the master’s programme/s it will be assigned a personal application number consisting of six digits. You must use this application number when applying for a Swedish Institute scholarship (scholarship application period 311 February 2014). You will be required to submit a Motivation letter and Europass CV with your scholarship application. These can be prepared well in advance of the actual scholarship application period. Kindly note that no other documents than the mandatory enclosures will be considered. The Swedish Institute is looking for applicants who display both intellectual ability and leadership potential and welcome applications regardless of age, gender and religious beliefs. The scholarship programme aims for diversity amongst the scholarship holders. Due to the large number of applications, applicants from countries with a high number of applicants per seat will be evaluated most thoroughly by selecting the best applications to a second evaluation round. Steps to complete your Swedish Institute scholarship application 1. Prepare a Motivation Letter according to the Swedish Institute template (available here ). Motivation letters in any other templates or formats are NOT valid. Make sure to read the questions in the Motivation Letter thoroughly and be specific and personal in your reasoning. Without exception, answers may not exceed the allowed number of characters (letters and spaces) for each question. 2. Prepare a Curriculum Vitae (CV) in English only using the Europass format of maximum three pages. Any CV submitted in another format than the Europass in English is NOT valid. Additional pages will not be considered.
