Mid Sweden University Tuition Fee Scholarships

Overview

Mid Sweden University (Mittuniversitetet) offers a limited number of Tuition Fee Scholarships for high-performing international students admitted to selected Master's programmes. The scholarship covers 75% of tuition fees for the full duration of the programme — making it one of the more accessible partial scholarship options for Nepali students considering Sweden.

Mid Sweden University is a public state university with campuses in Östersund and Sundsvall — two mid-sized Swedish cities in the country's geographical centre. It has a strong focus on research, sustainability, and industry collaboration, with particular strengths in engineering, computer science, tourism, media, and environmental science.

Nepal is eligible — the scholarship is open to all citizens from countries outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland who are required to pay tuition fees. This includes Nepali students.

Sweden is increasingly popular among Nepali students for postgraduate study, and Mid Sweden University offers a more accessible entry point than larger Swedish universities — with a genuine scholarship covering three-quarters of tuition costs for students with strong academic profiles.

How to Apply

The process runs in two stages — a University Admissions application followed by a scholarship application by email invitation.

1. Apply through University Admissions Sweden — submit your application to your chosen eligible Mid Sweden University Master's programme through universityadmissions.se before the deadline — typically 15 January for autumn entry. Pay the University Admissions application fee before 2 February.
2. Receive your scholarship application link — students who applied and paid the application fee before the deadlines automatically receive a link to the scholarship application form by email. The scholarship application window is typically 10–26 February.
3. Complete the scholarship application — submit your scholarship application through the emailed link before the February deadline. Ensure the email address in your application is valid — all correspondence including the scholarship offer will be sent there.
4. Await notification — applicants are notified of selection results by email by 30 April.
5. Accept within 5 days — if offered a scholarship, you must reply to the offer within 5 days. No money is disbursed — instead, the scholarship amount is deducted directly from your tuition fee invoice. You pay only the remaining 25%.
6. Visa and migration — Mid Sweden University informs the Swedish Migration Agency that your tuition fee has been paid. No separate scholarship certificate is issued.
