Gender Equality Scholarship (MSc)
The Gender Equality Scholarship is a need-based scholarship specifically designed to address the gender disparity within the MSc program in Finance (MFIN) and the MSc program in Accounting, Valuation & Financial Management (MAVFM).
By providing financial assistance to female students, it aims to encourage greater participation from this demographic in historically male-dominated fields. Additionally, the scholarship seeks to alleviate economic barriers faced by female students, thereby promoting diversity within the programs.
Eligibility criteria
-
Gender: Applicants must be female.
-
Program enrollment: Applicants must be admitted to and officially enroll in either the MSc program in Finance or the MSc program in Accounting, Valuation & Financial Management.

Number of scholarships awarded annually
The number of scholarships will be dependent upon external funding from other stakeholders such as SSE's corporate partners alumni.
Application process
The scholarship application is submitted together with the program application via our online application platform.
Selection process
The selection committee will evaluate applications based on pre-determined criteria, including the motivation, financial needs and academic performance. The committee will review the financial need documentation to ensure an equitable selection process. SSE distributes scholarship offers to our best candidates in mid-March.
The scholarships awarded in 2024 were generously funded by the SSE Gender Equality Fund, established to support projects/activities that promote gender equality at the Stockholm School of Economics.
