Support SSE

SSE relies on private support to remain a leading international business school. Less than 20 percent of funding comes from the Swedish government. Your support helps attract top students and researchers and strengthens education, research, and campus development.

Research & education

SSE combines strong academic performance with long-term private support. In the past decade, donations have funded 24 professorships, contributing to research with the highest citation impact in Sweden and strong global standing across six departments and five centers of excellence.

This support also shapes the campus environment. Art installations in classrooms and across campus create a more reflective atmosphere, while contributions from companies, foundations, alumni, and individuals help maintain historic buildings and enhance both physical and digital learning spaces.

Student perspective

After being admitted to SSE, I was excited about the opportunities ahead. However, the cost of living made it difficult to pursue my studies. The scholarship made it possible for me to study at SSE and receive support and guidance along the way. It has had a lasting impact on my academic and professional journey.
