Jönköping University (JU) in Sweden has officially opened its scholarship application window for international students beginning their studies in Autumn 2026. These scholarships are designed for fee-paying students and are awarded strictly on academic merit, making them a valuable opportunity for high-achieving applicants aiming to reduce the cost of studying in Sweden.
Jönköping University Scholarship Coverage
The JU Scholarship covers 30% of the tuition fee for any eligible bachelor’s or master’s degree programme offered on-campus at Jönköping University. The award applies only to students required to pay tuition fees and cannot be combined with scholarships offered through JU partnership agreements such as FIDERH, FUNED, or COLFUTURO, though students may still pursue financial support from those organizations separately.
Eligibility Criteria
Applicants must be citizens of a country required to pay tuition fees in Sweden and must also be required to pay tuition for their Jönköping University programme. Candidates need to select a Jönköping University programme as their first choice on universityadmissions.se or apply through the Jönköping University Direct Application portal. A complete programme application must be submitted before the scholarship is assessed, though students who have not yet received an admission offer may still apply for the scholarship. Only on-site bachelor’s and master’s programmes are eligible.
Application Window
The Jönköping University scholarship application period for Autumn 2026 programmes runs from 16 October 2025 to 2 May 2026. JU will notify awarded students by 7 May 2026, or shortly afterward. Students who receive an offer must confirm acceptance by the university’s stated deadline; otherwise, the scholarship will be withdrawn. If a student has already paid the first tuition instalment before the scholarship announcement, the 30% reduction will be applied to their second instalment.
How to Apply?
Students must submit their scholarship application exclusively through the Jönköping University official online form provided by JU. All information included must be verifiable with documents submitted in the study application. JU will only process scholarship applications after the corresponding programme application is fully completed.
Final Notes for Applicants
The JU Scholarship selection process focuses heavily on academic excellence, so students are advised to prepare strong supporting documents and submit both their study and scholarship applications early. Since the scholarship cannot be combined with certain partner-funded awards, applicants should review any external funding plans ahead of time to avoid conflicts.
