Swedish Arbitration Association (SAA) Scholarship — Master's Scholarship

The Swedish Arbitration Association funds this scholarship for Stockholm University’s 60-credit Master of Laws in International Commercial Arbitration. The one-year programme is taught in Stockholm and combines arbitration theory with practical work, including a mock arbitration and a master’s thesis.

The scholarship is offered to an admitted student who is liable for tuition fees and meets the stated citizenship condition. The current programme page says the scholarship is usually available and that a round opens after admission results when funding is available.
