The key operational point is that Chalmers scholarships are not automatic. You need a master’s application number from universityadmissions.se before submitting the separate scholarship application.

Eligibility

✅ You Must:

• Be a prospective master’s applicant at Chalmers.

• Be liable to pay tuition fees.

• Submit a programme application through universityadmissions.se or antagning.se.

• Use the application number from that programme application to apply for scholarships.

• Apply before the Chalmers scholarship deadline, which the university says aligns with the programme application deadline rather than the later documentation deadline.

• Check each scholarship’s exact eligibility rules and field restrictions.

❌ Not Eligible If:

• You are not a prospective student for the relevant intake.

• You are already a current student applying after the start of the first academic year.

• You miss the scholarship deadline even if your supporting documents can still be uploaded later.

• You assume Swedish Institute scholarships are administered by Chalmers; Chalmers states SI scholarships are not administered by the university.

How to Apply: Step by Step

Step 1: Choose your Chalmers master’s programme

Start with fit. Chalmers is a technology university, so programme alignment, prerequisites, and documented academic preparation matter. Confirm the programme page and entry requirements before creating your Swedish admissions application.

Step 2: Submit your programme application

Create your account and submit the master’s programme application through universityadmissions.se or antagning.se during the national application round. You need the application number for the scholarship process.

Step 3: Open the Chalmers scholarship portal

Once you have submitted the programme application and have the application number, complete the separate Chalmers-administered scholarship application.

Step 4: Do not confuse scholarship and document deadlines

Chalmers warns that the scholarship deadline aligns with the programme application deadline, not the later supporting-document deadline. This is a common trap for applicants who think they can finish scholarship paperwork later.

Step 5: Watch for scholarship notifications

For the 2026 cycle, Chalmers listed scholarship award notifications from mid-March to late April. For the 2027 cycle, monitor the official key dates page for updated notification timing.

Insider Tips

1. Get the application number early

You cannot apply for Chalmers-administered scholarships until you have submitted the programme application and have the application number. Do not wait until the last week.

2. Separate application means separate deadline risk

The master’s application and scholarship application are connected but not identical. Create a calendar entry for both.

3. Check award-specific rules

Chalmers hosts more than one funding route. Some awards may target certain countries, programmes, or tuition-paying groups. Read the individual listings before spending time on an ineligible application.

4. Apply even if external funding is possible

Chalmers states that alternative or complementary external funding does not affect nomination because the applicant’s financial status is not considered during nomination.

5. Use Chalmers’ technology profile in your motivation

If the scholarship requires motivation, link your goals to the specific Chalmers programme, labs, sustainability themes, and technical strengths.
