SSE Masters Degree Scholarship Funded by SSE Alumni in North America

In 2016, the Stockholm School of Economics and American Friends of SSE (AFSSE) established a Scholarship Fund as a means to further develop ties between North America and Sweden. The award provides the two-year tuition costs, totaling SEK 300 000 / $33,000 USD, for North American students who have been accepted as a candidate to one of SSE's Master's degree programs.

Thanks to the generosity of alumni donors based in North America, over 720 000 SEK / $80,000 USD has been raised since 2016 and first two scholarship recipients, Daisy Garcia and Christopher Kuo, were selected in 2017 and 2018 respectively. They were awarded their scholarships during the annual AFSSE Valborg dinner in New York City, New York.

Daisy is now in her second and final year of the Masters in International Business program.
Christopher is in the Masters in Business and Management program and is completing his first year.
