Chalmers Mastercard scholarship

Chalmers Mastercard, together with the Ecster bank, distributes half of one per cent of the card’s turnover annually as project grants and scholarships to students at Chalmers. By using the card, holders support various student projects. Cardholders can be students, alumni and employees of the University.

Do you have a project or an idea that you want to implement?

Take the opportunity to make your project or idea a reality by applying for a Chalmers Mastercard scholarship. Examples of projects are a degree project, a bachelor’s thesis, a project that benefits you as a student, the start of a new association or similar. The scholarship is important to give you the opportunity to complete projects where your theoretical knowledge can be applied in practice, and which provide experience and knowledge for your future career.

These are the guidelines specifying the Award Committee’s requirements:

• Good for the students/adds value
• Good for the University/adds value
• An opportunity for card users to feel proud of Chalmers and the University’s activities

Issuer: Chalmers University of Technology

In previous years, we have awarded grants for travel that is part of the projects. However, due to the experience of the recent pandemic, we would like you to outline in the application how the project will deal with any travel disruption or other unforeseen events.
