Take the opportunity to bring your idea to life by applying for the Chalmers Mastercard Grant. The grant supports projects such as thesis works, the launch of new associations, or other student-driven initiatives which will provide practical experience and enhance your career. The grant was previously financed through a card program, which has now ended, and the remaining funds will be awarded one final time.
Do you have a project or idea you want to realize?
Take the opportunity to bring your project or idea to life by applying for the Chalmers Mastercard Grant. The project could, for example, be a thesis, a bachelor's project, a project that benefits you as a student, the launch of a new association, or something similar. The money should be vital in providing you with the conditions to carry out projects where your theoretical knowledge can be applied in practice, giving you experience and skills for your future career.
For several years, Chalmers Mastercard, in collaboration with the bank Ecster, awarded 0.5% of Chalmers Mastercard's turnover as project grants and scholarships to students.
The card program has ended, and we no longer collect funds through this system.
The remaining funds will now be awarded one last time.
