Dalarna University Scholarship

Dalarna University, in the Falun-Borlänge area of central Sweden, offers tuition-fee scholarships to talented non-EU/EEA students admitted to its English-taught Master's programmes. Awards typically reduce tuition by a set percentage (commonly in the 25-75% range) and are decided on academic merit within the admission process. Dalarna is a modern, flexible university — well known for its online and blended learning and for programmes in areas such as business intelligence, microdata analysis, energy and environmental technology, African studies, and sport and health science. For Sri Lankan students, it offers a lower-cost, welcoming route into a Swedish Master's outside the ultra-competitive national schemes, with strong support for international students. Exact scholarship coverage, number of awards and deadlines are set each intake, so confirm the current terms for your programme on the Dalarna University website.
