Scholarships
Although in almost all cases, tuition is free, it still costs to live in Sweden. There are a number of ways you can get funding to help you afford your stay:

The Swedish Institute, a government agency, each year administers over 500 scholarships for students and researchers coming to Sweden to pursue their objectives at a Swedish university.
The number of available scholarships varies from year to year, and competition is keen. Most foreign students in Sweden finance their stay without help from scholarships.
There are several different kinds of SI scholarship available. You can find them listed by name here.
The application process for SI scholarships depends primarily on the level at which you intend to study. Application instructions are available here.
SI scholarships for students applying to English-language programmes in Sweden are for master's level studies or advanced studies/research only.
SI also administers bilateral exchange programmes with Bulgaria, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Romania and Russia. Students and researchers from these countries can apply for funding for academic pursuits in Sweden via this channel as well.
Other organisations, both Swedish and foreign, also sponsor scholarships for foreign students in Sweden
