“The purpose of the SSE MBA scholarship is to promote further education and raise the skill level among the next generation of leaders,” says Karin Wiström, Director SSE MBA at the Stockholm School of Economics.

The scholarship is awarded to candidates whose previous achievements and future potential indicate they will benefit optimally from the program. By strengthening their leadership and skills in responsible business and operational development, candidates will be able to benefit their company or organization and be a good ambassador for Sweden. Particular emphasis is placed on candidates’ potential to generate new business through entrepreneurship or intrapreneurship, in Sweden and internationally.

The 2026 SSE MBA Scholarship goes to Tove Jarl, CEO at Ung Företagsamhet, with the following motivation: 

“Tove is an appreciated, highly competent, and communicative leader with a strong track record and a clear commitment to continued growth and development. She combines strong personal drive with the ability to inspire and lead others toward a common goal. Her ability to build strong relationships and establish trust among a wide range of stakeholders is particularly noteworthy.

As CEO of JA Sweden (Ung Företagsamhet), Tove is passionate about bringing together entrepreneurship, young people, education, and societal impact. She aims to further scale the organization’s impact in Sweden and internationally, extending its reach and giving more young people the opportunity to realize their ideas through entrepreneurship.

Tove brings a unique and diverse background, with extensive experience across different organizations. Combined with the new perspectives, insights, and knowledge she will gain from the SSE MBA program, this experience gives her strong potential to take on further leadership roles and make a meaningful contribution to society. Her experience, perspective, and leadership qualities will also enable her to contribute significantly to the program and to the learning of her peers.

With her experience, leadership qualities, and potential for future impact, Tove is a highly deserving recipient of the SSE MBA Scholarship 2026,” says Karin Wiström.

Speaking about the impact she hopes to create through the program, Tove Jarl says:

“Young people have an incredible capacity to shape the future when they are given the confidence, skills and opportunities to turn their ideas into action. Sweden has a strong tradition of innovation and entrepreneurship, and our continued competitiveness depends on helping more young people realize their potential. Through the SSE MBA Executive Format program, I want to strengthen my leadership and explore how we can expand the reach and impact of entrepreneurship education. My ambition is to equip more young people with the skills, confidence and mindset to create opportunities for themselves and for society.”
