Apply for Tomas Carlzon scholarship
With the Thomas Carlzon scholarship fund, Linnaeus University wants to recognize successful students on the Innovation through business, engineering and design program annually during the years 2023 – 2025.
The scholarship amount is 15,000 SEK per ear and one scholarship holder is awarded per year.
During his time as managing director of IKEA AB, Thomas Carlzon was an important person for the development of Växjö University and later Linnaeus University. He was known as a dedicated leader within IKEA but also as a mentor to managers outside the company. At the university, he became particularly involved in educational issues. The program Innovation through business, engineering and design, for example, would not have been developed without Thomas' strong driving force.
Application:

The application deadline is June 15 2023.
