SSE offers scholarships that cover fully or partially the tuition fees. Application for scholarships is submitted during the application process for the BSc or MSc program, via our application portal. See tab "Scholarships" in the program application. You write a motivation letter for all the available funding, and if you would like, you can mention that you fulfil the requirements for a specific fund (see below) - it will make the matching easier for us. Your application for the scholarships is not going to have an impact on your application for the program. Scholarships are distributed on merit and need basis and take into consideration the fair distribution across the programs.
