The application process begins with securing admission to a Swedish university. Interested students can apply through the official University Admissions Sweden portal, with the deadline set for January 15, 2026.
After receiving admission, applicants can submit their scholarship applications through the Swedish Institute’s official website, which will open on February 26, 2026.
The Embassy emphasized that this opportunity is part of efforts to support Tanzanian students in accessing international education, enhancing their professional skills and leadership capacities, and contributing to national development.
