About the Scholarship
The Swedish Institute is a government organization that promotes respect for and interest in Sweden throughout the world.
We work in the areas of business, research, education, and culture in an effort to fortify links and advance development.
In order to increase Sweden’s appeal, we cultivate long-lasting relationships with other nations.
