The Adlerbert Study Scholarships support prospective fee-paying students entering a master’s programme at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg. The award is funded by the Adlerbert Foundations and administered by Chalmers.
Recipients study in person in Sweden, and the scholarship applies across Chalmers’ current master’s programmes. The fall 2026 round is closed; Chalmers has not yet published an exact opening date for the next cycle.
Benefits & funding
- A 100% tuition fee waiver for the two-year master’s programme, up to 120 credits.
- The award is applied as a tuition-fee reduction rather than paid to the student.
- Continuation into the second academic year requires at least 30 credits completed during the first three study periods.
Eligibility
- Be a prospective fee-paying applicant entering the first year of an eligible Chalmers master’s programme; current students cannot apply.
- Meet the general, specific and English-language entry requirements for the selected master’s programme.
- Hold, or be completing where Chalmers permits, a bachelor’s degree equivalent to at least three years and 180 Swedish higher-education credits in science, engineering, technology or architecture.
