Apply for scholarships from the Foundation Blanceflor

23 November 2023

In order to promote international exchange in scientific research and education, the Foundation Blanceflor anually awards scholarships to young individuals with Italian or Swedish citizenship. The application deadline is 1 February, 2024.

The foundation's areas of focus are medicine, natural sciences, and technology. Starting this year, there are two categories of scholarships to apply for: long-term and short-term.

  • Long-term scholarships are those for which the Foundation Blanceflor provides full funding (up to 400,000 Swedish kronor per year) for up to two years.
  • Short-term scholarships are smaller grants, intended to contribute to a study or research sojourn of up to six months. These scholarships may be combined with other funding.

The purpose of both is to cover personal expenses related to research and/or studies in one or more of the following countries: Italy, Japan, Canada, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, or the United States (excluding one's own home country). Please note that an invitation letter from the receiving institution is required.
