Application Deadline

How to Apply

A complete scholarship application has three parts:

1. The online scholarship application (the application link is only active during the application period).
2. A CV/résumé (uploaded to your University Admissions account)
3. A video where you explain why you should receive a scholarship

In the video (no more than 60 seconds long), you need to explain why you should be awarded a scholarship from Dalarna University. You will need to upload this video to a website or cloud storage so that it can be viewed by the scholarship committee: include the link to the video in your scholarship application where indicated. We must be able to view the video using only the link provided.
Do not e-mail the video or send any documents directly to Dalarna University. All documents can be uploaded before or during the scholarship application period, which is seperate from the application period for Master Degree studies at UniversityAdmissions.se

You can use any device (laptop, phone, etc) to create this video. We recommend that you find a quite place with good lighting and that you practice what you want to say before recording the video.

You need to ensure you complete the online application form and upload the above documents by the final dates stated above (i.e., September 30 or March 1, depending on the semester). If you do not submit all documents by the final date, then your application will be considered incomplete and will not be processed.
