• Recipients will receive a Scholarship nomination letter and an invoice with the deducted scholarship amount. The scholarship must be accepted or declined by the deadline stated in the nomination letter.
• Students who are not offered a scholarship will not be notified individually. If you receive an invoice with the full tuition fee amount, you have not been awarded a scholarship.

The scholarship will initially be granted for one semester, but will be automatically extended for the duration of the study programme (2 or 4 semesters) provided that study results are satisfactory.

If you have been awarded a Halmstad University Scholarship, you must meet the scholarship conditions and also the requirements for progression in studies to keep the scholarship for the continuation of the programme. Please check your programme/course syllabus to make sure that you are aware of the requirements you have to meet.

Students who interrupt their studies or apply for leave of absence (study break) will no longer meet the requirements for the scholarship.

Please read the regulations for further information on the selection process and scholarship conditions before you apply via University Admissions.

4 questions to an SI scholarship holder

Through Erasmus there are many possibilities for you as a student in a higher education institution to study or do a traineeship within Europe without paying any study fees. As an Erasmus student or trainee you are entitled the Erasmus scholarship from your home university that will cover most of the expenses during your period abroad. Talk to the erasmus representative at your home university to get more information about the process.

To be eligible for an Erasmus scholarship you have to:

• be a citizen of one of the countries participating in Erasmus.
• be a registered student at a university.
• have been studying for one year (not for traineeship) before the mobility takes place.

Your current university also needs to have a partnership with Halmstad University (not for traineeship) and has to be a part of Erasmus by holding the Erasmus University Charter.
