Jönköping University Tuition Fee Scholarship

Jönköping University (JU) is a Swedish university with a strong international and entrepreneurial profile, especially in business, engineering, and the social sciences. It offers tuition-fee scholarships covering 25% to 100% of fees to talented fee-paying international students — Sri Lankans included — on its English-taught Master's programmes. Sweden's degrees are highly regarded for innovation and quality of life, and a JU scholarship makes a Swedish Master's substantially more affordable. JU's triple-accredited business school and close industry links make it especially attractive for Sri Lankan business and engineering graduates. Awards are merit-based and decided alongside admission, so a single strong application is assessed for both a place and funding.

Annual cycle — scholarship application typically follows the January Master's admission round for the August/autumn intake

Through your admission application. Awards like this are usually assessed automatically from the application you already submit — there is typically no separate scholarship form to fill in.

What it covers

25%-100% Tuition Fee Reduction (Master's). This is a reduction in tuition, not a full ride. You still fund the remainder, plus living costs and the balance your visa requires you to show.

Looking for a scholarship because of the cost?

Then start here instead. Scholarships are competitive, usually partial, and decided by someone else — they are the least reliable way to make studying abroad affordable. Your destination and course choice move the number far more, and both are entirely within your control.
