Since 2017, the scholarship has been awarded to 16 young talents, with a passion for entrepreneurship and growth companies, from Sweden and Southeast Asia. The scholars are given the opportunity to obtain two master’s degrees from two reputable business schools on two different continents – in just two years.
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.
