The She Entrepreneurs program is a well-established leadership program for female entrepreneurs in the Middle East and North Africa region. Open to applicants from a range of countries, the program helps talented women take their business initiative and acumen to a higher level.

Candidates from the following nations are invited to apply: Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Syria, Yemen, Tunisia, Palestine, Egypt, and Algeria. Applicants should have a strong business vision and be interested in acquiring the tools and methods needed to develop their businesses. It is designed for women who have already begun building their businesses, and are interested in making them more effective and valuable. The program offers personal and professional development that lead toward the development of an equal and sustainable society.

In addition to providing women with the opportunity to develop their business initiatives and to acquire personal skills, it grants them access to innovative tools and entrepreneurial skill development. Candidates will leave the program with a finely tuned knowledge of topics like communication, sales, finance, funding, branding, and business development. They will be granted individual feedback on their business initiatives from leading entrepreneurs and mentors, and will also gain access to a powerful and prominent network of like minded women.

The program is separated into two and a half weeks, each divided into two modules at different times. This intensive program offers a full-day schedule and multiple evening activities. The first module, held in Stockholm, Sweden from June 9-20, is set up with a practical approach that includes workshops, lectures, and networking. This first module is dedicated to developing a personal business initiative and acquiring knowledge of topics like funding, communication, marketing, and business modeling.

The second module will be held held in Stockholm, Sweden from September 15 to 21. The focus of this module will be to build and expand a business network through hands-on activities like workshops, meetings with mentors, and seminars.

All costs are covered and arranged by the Swedish Institute, including training, accommodations, food, domestic transport, flight tickets, insurance, and visa costs. Selected candidates are only responsible for domestic travel and airport transfer in the home country and insurance when modules are located outside of Sweden.

To apply, candidates must download and fill out the She Entrepreneurs 2019 application form, and upload the completed form, an updated CV, and contact information for two reference persons. They should also upload a photo. Once the application process is complete, about sixty shortlisted candidates will be called for interviews.

Candidates with profound leadership experience, exceptional professional backgrounds, and outstanding ambition are encouraged to apply for a master’s degree in Sweden via a fully-funded Swedish Institute scholarship.

These awards are for master’s studies starting in the fall semester of 2022, with applications opening on February 10, 2022. 180 awards will likely be granted, with recipients beginning their studies in October 2022. Usually about one to two percent of all applicants are awarded a scholarship.

This award covers tuition fees paid directly to the Swedish university of choice, as well as living expenses of up to SEK 9,000 per month. A travel grant of 15,000 SEK is also provided, as is comprehensive insurance against illness and accident. All award recipients also receive membership to two professional organizations: the SI Network for Future Global Leaders and the SI Alumni Network.

The SI Network for Future Global Leaders is an organization in which students can grow their personal and professional networks while studying in Sweden, while the SI Alumni Network assists students after their scholarship period, helping them gain professional entry and development opportunities, as well as to stay in touch with past program participants.

The scholarship does not cover the costs of the application fee to University Admissions, nor does it cover additional expenses for family members. The award spans full-time study for one- or two-year master’s programs, and is only awarded starting in the fall semester. It is granted for two semesters at a time, but can be extended for programs longer than two semesters as long as the student has made satisfactory progress toward his or her credits.

To be eligible, candidates must have at least 3,000 hours of demonstrated full- or part-time employment, internship, or voluntary work experience. Demonstrated leadership experience and evidence of citizenship from an eligible country are also required. Applicants are expected to pay admissions fees to the university, and may be required to meet other eligibility criteria as well.

To apply, interested candidates should submit a motivation letter and a Curriculum Vitae of no more than three pages. Two letters of reference, proof of work and leadership experience, and a copy of the applicant’s passport must also be supplied. All materials should be submitted during the February application period, as competition is fierce and late materials will not be accepted.
