Jane M Klausman – Women in Business Scholarship

Although women have come a long way in education and careers in the business world, they still make up a minority of today's leaders and people in power. Zonta International's Women in Business scholarship aims to help women pursue a business-related degree at bachelor's or master's level with the aim of reaching a leadership position in business or society.

Who can apply
The scholarship can be applied for by you who are studying on a bachelor's or master's program with a specialization mainly in economics, financial management, business management, business technology, information technology, marketing, personnel management, international business operations or entrepreneurship at an accredited university or college.

When the scholarship is paid out, you must still be enrolled at the university and you will graduate in May 2025 at the earliest.

You are expected to strive for a leading position in business and society and have good academic results and live or study in Sweden or Latvia at the time of application.
