In addition to the standard Axel Adler Scholarship, the University of Gothenburg offers the Axel Adler Scholarship for Sustainability 2026. This version is available for Master’s programs with a sustainability focus and requires applicants to include a motivation statement outlining their past or planned contributions to sustainability.
