Program Overview
The Swedish Institute Scholarships for Global Professionals (SISGP) fund master's studies in Sweden for professionals with work and leadership experience. The scholarship is open only to citizens of 34 listed countries.
Pakistan is not on the Swedish Institute's list of 34 eligible countries, so Pakistani citizens cannot apply for this scholarship. The listed countries are Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Belarus, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Egypt, Ethiopia, Georgia, Guatemala, Indonesia, Iraq, Jordan, Kenya, Liberia, Malaysia, Mexico, Moldova, Morocco, Nigeria, Peru, the Philippines, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Thailand, Uganda, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Vietnam and Zambia.
The process has two steps. First you apply for an eligible master's programme through University Admissions in Sweden. Then you submit the SI scholarship application, which is open for about two weeks in February. The Swedish Institute has not yet published the dates for the 2027/28 round. In the last round, university applications ran from 16 October 2025 to 15 January 2026, the SI application was open from 9 to 25 February 2026 (closing at 14:59 Central European Time) and scholarship results came on 23 April 2026. The deadline shown on this page is an estimate based on that round. This page was last checked against the Swedish Institute website on 7 October 2026.

Official Application WebsiteFrequently Asked Questions
It varies by program and by your previous education. Some providers accept other English tests, and some waive the test if your earlier degree was taught in English. Check the official program requirements before you apply.
The expected deadline, based on the previous application cycle, is 2/25/2027. Please confirm the exact date on the official website and apply at least a week early.
Most universities allow you to apply with a "Hope Certificate" or provisional transcript if you are in your final semester, provided you graduate before the intake starts.
This varies by university. Many fully funded scholarships cover or waive application fees, but some may still require an initial processing fee. Refer to the official guidelines.
For PhD and some Master's programs, securing an acceptance letter from a professor is often mandatory. For undergraduate programs, it is usually not required.
