Deadlines for this scholarship
An award closing is only the first of the dates that matter. After it there is the deposit that keeps your place, the unconditional offer the funder wants to see before it pays, and a last day to arrive and register. Where the funder publishes none of these, the row says so — a blank is what the official page actually says, not something we have left out.
| Stage | Date | Standing |
|---|---|---|
| Apply to the scheme by Act on this one | 24 Feb 2027 | 16 weeks left |
| Unconditional offer needed by | 01 Apr 2027 | Still open |
Who can apply
Bangladeshi nationals qualify - Bangladesh is one of the 34 listed countries and residence there is not required; Pakistan, India and every Gulf state (UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman) are outside the list, so those applicants cannot apply.
What the award is
Swedish Institute academic scholarship, funded by the Swedish government, for a master's programme in Sweden that leads into professional work in the student's home region. It is a two-step process: apply for an eligible master's programme on universityadmissions.se during the first round (6 October 2026 to 15 January 2027) and then apply in the SI scholarship portal, which is open 8-24 February 2027 and closes at 14:59 CET. Applicants must show both work experience (at least 3,000 hours) and leadership experience, the eligible nationalities are the 34 countries on the SI list (Bangladesh is included, Pakistan is not), and the award pays full tuition, SEK 12,000 per month, a SEK 15,000 travel grant and a networking component.

si.se Key dates: '16 October 2026 - 15 January 2027: Apply to Swedish master's programmes through University Admissions', '8-24 February 2027: Application portal for the SI Scholarships is open... closes at 14:59 CET on the final day', '1 April 2027: University admissions announcement' (applicants must be admitted or conditionally admitted that day) and '22 April 2027: SI Scholarship announcement'. No tuition-payment or latest-arrival date is published, so those columns are blank; the award is full tuition plus SEK 12,000 per month and a SEK 15,000 travel grant, and needs 3,000 hours of work experience and documented leadership experience - https://si.se/en/apply/scholarships/swedish-institute-scholarships-for-global-professionals/ (checked 30 October 2026)
