INTRODUCTION
The goal of the Swedish Institute (SI) is for our scholarship holders to play an active role in the society in
which they live. Your scholarship application should show an ambition to work with issues which, within
your context and field of study/research, contribute to a global development in general and to the
development of your country and region in particular.

The Swedish Institute is looking for applicants who display both intellectual ability and leadership skills,
with the prospect of becoming global leaders in their chosen fields. Ideal candidates are ambitious
professionals who are able to demonstrate work and leadership experience, and who have a clear idea of how
a particular master’s programme in Sweden would benefit their country.

In your answers below, please explain how you qualify for a scholarship to Sweden. You should not repeat
information already stated in your CV, but elaborate and expand on your achievements, the driving forces in
your life, and things that inspire you.
I. Describe your current possibilities (in terms of role/position, mandate) to influence and develop
processes and work carried out within your organisation or network, and how the master’s
programme in Sweden can enhance your abilities to do so to a greater extent. Use concrete examples.

regards to:
1. The activity and your role/tasks in the activity.

activity is ongoing), and your specific contribution in the outcome.
