Funds at the faculty
Last changed: 04 March 2024
Tor Jonsson Memorial Fund
Awarded every year as a travel scholarship for a study trip, in the Nordic countries (including Sweden) to students at the Faculty of Forestry. Study trips with a focus on forest division or forest management have priority, as do applicants who were born in Västergötland. The scholarship amount available for a course of study may, unless individual scholarship purposes outweigh it, be used for group study trips within the Nordic countries.
Magda and Folke Carlsson Scholarship Fund
Awarded as a travel scholarship to regular students in the five-year Forest Science programme or to recent Master of Science in Forestry (120 or 60 credits) graduates from the Faculty of Forest Sciences who graduated after 1 April 2010, as a grant to cover costs for individual forest study trips abroad. 1/10th of the scholarship amount is paid out only after the travel report has been submitted and approved. If special reasons exist, the scholarship can also be awarded as a study scholarship.
Nils Delin Scholarship Fund
Awarded to a student who has graduated from the Skogshögskolan, who wishes to acquire skills in languages or in business technology, whereby preference must be given to the student who is considered to have the greatest potential to acquire such skills, i.e. regardless of personal financial circumstances. Eligible to apply for the scholarship since it was first awarded is anyone who has graduated from the Faculty of Forestry after the application period has expired at the closest previous award.
Skandia Scholarship Fund
Awarded as financial aid during the years of study to up to three students in the five-year Forest Science programme who have pursued their studies with diligence and success and observed honourable conduct. The scholarship recipient must also be an active member of the student union. The scholarship may be received more than once.
Torsten Wangenberg Scholarship Fund
Awarded to one or more students in the five-year Forest Science programme as a grant for costs for study trips intended for completion of their education.
Albert N. Cedergren Travel Support Fund
Awarded to Master of Science in Forestry (120 or 60 credits) graduates from the Faculty of Forest Sciences for forest science studies in foreign countries with strong forest cultures.
Anna-Britta and Vadim Söderström Travel Scholarship Fund
The scholarship is awarded to doctoral students primarily within the subject area of forestry. Alternatively, doctoral students in subjects related to forestry must also be considered competent. The scholarship is intended to stimulate doctoral students primarily in forestry to acquire increased knowledge about how forestry is conducted and what effects it entails in countries outside the Nordic countries. The selection of scholarship recipients must be made through an assessment of the applicant's experience in forestry teaching and time spent on the doctoral task. The scholarship can only be awarded once to the same person.
Edlund Brothers Donation Fund
This fund was established by the brothers Georg Wilhelm Edlund and Walter Edlund in a will drawn up in 1966. Proceeds from the fund are to be used for research grants within Skogshögskolan and chiefly allocated to foreign visiting research fellows, primarily from Canada.
Grants can be awarded for research projects, but also for travel, accommodation and any moving costs for visiting research fellows from abroad. Applications are sent in by the person at SLU intending to invite visiting research fellows to the university.
Fund for Forest Science Research
The fund's task is to support all research that aims to deepen the understanding of the life of the forest, improve care and increase the economic return of the country's forest capital, as well as enable a more complete utilization of the forest's products. Grants can be awarded for pilot research projects and for public lectures by external lecturers in all parts of the forest research area.
Applications from younger researchers are prioritized over applications from older researchers. Grants can be awarded for research projects and public lectures (4 research projects of SEK 150,000 and 2 public lectures of SEK 25,000)
Wilhelm Smitt Scholarship Fund
Awarded as a scholarship to students in the five-year Forest Science programme who have demonstrated diligence, interest in and suitability for their profession.
Former Students Scholarship Fund
Three scholarships are awarded. Two students in the five-year Forest Science programme and one student in the three-year Forest Management programme, who 'have pursued their studies with diligence and success and observed honourable conduct'. The scholarship may be received more than once.
