The SSE MBA Scholarship is offered through a partnership between Dagens Industri, utbildning.se and the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE), an institution founded in 1909 in Stockholm, Sweden. It provides complete coverage of the SSE Executive MBA tuition fee of SEK 595,000 + VAT for one selected scholar. The SSE MBA is an 18-month part-time programme that lets participants continue working while they study, and the scholarship also includes the programme's international study trips. The award targets experienced professionals: candidates need a degree equivalent to 180 credits and at least 5 years of relevant work experience, plus strong English-language skills. Applications are submitted online through the official website; the application form is in Swedish but may be completed in English. Because this is a tuition scholarship, living costs in Stockholm are not covered, so plan a personal budget for accommodation, travel and daily expenses during the 18 months. Confirm the exact tuition figure, intake date and current deadline on the official SSE MBA page before you apply, as fees and cycle dates change each year.
