SSE Supporters

The Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) is a private business school with limited dependence on government support (22 %). Ever since SSE was founded in 1909, alumni and friends have shown a strong commitment for SSE’s research and education. This commitment has been essential for SSE’s ability to offer leading research and education.

Today SSE operates in a highly globalized market in strong competition with other leading universities and business schools. The involvement of SSE’s alumni and friends is therefore more important than ever.

SSE Supporters

SSE’s century-old history of private contributions to research and education forms the foundation for SSE Supporters. Together we ensure that SSE maintains its position as a leading business school in Europe. SSE Supporters secure that we can continue to attract the very best students and researchers nationally and internationally, offer an attractive environment for students and researchers, and ensure ongoing development of educational content and teaching methods.

Join SSE Supporters!

The relations with alumni and friends are of great importance to the Stockholm School of Economics, which therefore aims to involve as many alumni and friends as possible through SSE Supporters. As an SSE Supporter you make annual donations and enjoy benefits that focus on building a closer relationship with the school. The benefits include for example invitations to seminars and events. All donors are listed on the SSE Supporters Donor Wall but can be anonymous if they prefer. Read more about SSE Supporters in SSE Today or in the SSE Supporter folder.

By becoming an SSE Supporter you ensure that future students receive the same kind of high quality education that you have benefited from.

Donate your enrollment number

Common for students and alumni at the Stockholm School of Economics is that they have a unique enrollment number, inskrivningsnummer, that follows them throughout their education.

If all alumni contributed a sum that matches their enrollment number, the total amount would be close to 200 million SEK. Each annual group of new graduates alone would contribute about 8 million SEK.
SSE has created a target for all alumni who make annual contributions and will award those alumni whose accumulated donations match their inskrivningsnummer a special SSE Supporter pin. The pin is a replica of the doorknob on the main entrance of SSE and symbolizes the support shown to the school and its many talented students through SSE Supporters.

If an enrollment number exceeds 30 000, alumni have the option of changing the first digit to a 2 and making the new number their target. The target for those who do not have an enrollment number is 23 000.
SSE Supporter Hermes

Many will recognize the Hermes statuettes from previous campaigns, they remain an important symbol of the strong support shown SSE by alumni and friends. Alumni whose accumulated donations equal 300 000 SEK will reach Hermes silver level and receive a silver Hermes statuette. Those who equal 3 million SEK or more will reach Hermes gold level and receive a gold Hermes statuette.
