Funding and contract
The completed contract should be sent to scholarshipcontracts@kva.se
The funds will be paid approximately 30 days after we have received the signed contract.
The funds must be requested within 12 months of the decision date stated in the contract (request period). You will then have an additional 12 months to use the awarded funds. This means that, in total, you have 24 months to use the funds (funding period).
Report
A brief report and financial summary on the use of the awarded scholarship must be submitted as soon as the project has been completed, and no later than the end of the funding period, which is 24 months from the decision date.
The report should be submitted through the application system under the “Reporting” tab. Receipts or other supporting documents do not need to be submitted, but it is important that you retain them for seven years in case of a financial follow-up.
Repayment
If the project is not carried out, or if not all awarded funds have been used, any remaining funds must be repaid without prior notice.
The funds should be repaid to plusgiro number: 215 51 73-4
Please state the contract number as the reference number/message.
Extension of the funding period
An application for an extension of the funding period may be granted in exceptional circumstances. The request must be submitted within 24 months of the decision date. Applications should be sent to scholarship@kva.se. Please state the contract number and the reason for the application. A maximum extension of 12 months may be granted.
You are responsible for informing your university/department if an extension of the funding period for your scholarship or research grant has been granted.
Change of purpose
Requests to change the purpose of a grant are considered only in exceptional circumstances. Unused funds are not considered sufficient grounds for a change of purpose and will therefore not be taken into consideration.
If you wish to carry out a project other than the one for which you were awarded funding, we recommend that you apply for new funding in a future call for applications.
