  • Must be undertaking research or study in a Scandinavian country (sometimes includes Switzerland for specific projects)

  • Research proposal/study plan
  • Academic transcripts
  • Letters of recommendation
  • Budget

Timeline

Applications open September. Deadline November 1. Notifications by April.

Tips

Rarely applies to Switzerland directly, but if your research involves a comparative study with a Scandinavian country or a topic with direct relevance, it might be worth exploring or contacting them for clarification.
