Between 2017 and 2023, the Karl-Adam Bonnier Foundation awarded scholarships to 16 outstanding students from Sweden and Southeast Asia, with a strong passion for entrepreneurship and growth-oriented companies. Through the K-A Bonnier International Fellows Program, the scholars were given the unique opportunity to earn two master’s degrees from two top-tier business schools on two different continents – in just two years.

Karl-Adam Bonniers Darden Stipendium

From 1987 to 2001 the Karl-Adam Bonnier Foundation ran a scholarship program in which a total of 21 outstanding students at the Stockholm School of Economics were given the opportunity to study at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business.

The program was launched because Karl-Adam Bonnier, himself a Darden alumnus, was impressed by the new case methodology being used at the university. The scholarship was for one year of study and covered tuition, travel and subsistence.
