In the Autumn semester of this year, the Swedish Institute Scholarships for Global Professionals (SISGP), a new scholarship program that replaces the Swedish Institute Study Scholarships (SISS), will grant scholarships to a significant number of master’s programs at Swedish universities.
The SI Scholarship for Global Professionals seeks to train future global leaders who will contribute to the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and to positive and sustainable development in their home nations and area.
Professionals that display leadership skills via their unique projects or ideas are always encouraged to apply for SI scholarships. Without a question, the country is synonymous with variety and creativity.
This is because the country’s relevant ministry has recognized the legitimate need to promote diversity, culture, and education by giving fully-funded scholarships for overseas students.
