The
American Women's Club in Stockholm Scholarship Foundation
strives to promote the development of ideas through academic
exchange across cultures. Founded in 1982 by former AWC
President Jessie Lokrantz, the AWC Scholarship Foundation
has been making it possible for American women to study
in Sweden, allowing members of the AWC to share our adopted
country with our fellow countrywomen.
The
scholarship, which is based on academic excellence and commitment
to improving humankind, is awarded in the form of a stipend.
The purpose of the stipend is to assist in covering expenses
incurred while studying in Sweden.
In
order to qualify for the AWC Scholarship, the applicant
must be 18 years old or older,
an American Female Citizen,
and accepted for a period of study or research at a Swedish
educational institute during 2008/2009.
Deadline for 2009 applications is
March 31, 2009.
