Anders Wall Scholarship of 125 000 SEK now open for applications

Are you an active student who in your spare time is engaged in various projects, hobbies or even entrepreneurship?

Do you have plans for developing your activities, but lack funding? Then apply for the Anders Wall Foundation scholarship of 125 000 SEK!

This spring the scholarship was awarded to Fredrika Gyllang and she encourages students to apply for the scholarship:

"I strongly recommend applying for the Anders Wall Scholarship! It's a great honour to be granted the scholarship in Stockholm, surrounded by inspiring and ambitous people. To be a Wallumnus is to be a part of a bigger family. It is such a diversified group that has a helping and open culture and you can be sure of getting good friends and mentors for life". 

Christian Kolster, a Wallumnus from 1990, agrees with Gyllang:

“The monetary value in itself makes the scholarship worthwhile to apply for. However, the true value lies in the network you become a part of. Today, Wallumni consists of more than 370 holders of the scholarship.”

The Anders Wall Scholarship is the largest scholarship a student at the Hanken can apply for. The scholarship can be used for eg. developing an idea or international education or research.

The scholarship offers excellent opportunities for contacts and regional networks. The holders of Anders Wall scholarships, Wallumni, come from Finland, Sweden and the Baltic States and meet annually in connection to the award ceremony arranged in Stockholm. Read more on the Wallumni-site.
