I think that living in Sweden has taught me so much about cross-cultural differences and ways individuals and society can improve as a whole. Being apart of a welcoming community that works to be inclusive and kind really opened my eyes to another world. My host family, professors, and new friends all made my experience memorabl...

It was fantastic to meet people from different countries and cultures and to form relationships with these people. Definitely a worthwhile experience. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I made a lot of friends both within the program and locals that I still keep in touch with. I would definitely recommend the visiting host family option for those who aren't living in a homestay. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review

My experience was very worthwhile. I learned a lot and was exposed to many new things from my travels. The Study Tour Aspect was amazing, best part of the program. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I spent a lot of my time focusing on my already existent friendships and boundaries with adults and other students. I think that time focusing was definitely worthwhile. I learned that I had strength within myself I didn't even know I had. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I gained a lot of perspective on a unique culture that I previously knew nothing about. It was extremely worthwhile and I would recommend studying abroad to everyone. Alexander DuMont - Brandeis University View Entire Review
It was COMPLETELY worthwhile. I believe studying abroad should be something every undergraduate student embarks on. As a result, I consider myself to be a citizen of the world. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review

I learned about future career paths A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about Sweden through my host family and through my courses. It was really cool to learn about the fields I have chosen to study, through a Swedish lens. I loved my host family, I loved the friends I made (a lot of whom were also homestay students), and I loved Stockholm. This program was definitely worthwhile.

How to live in someone else's house, become a presence in their family, how to be alone and navigate and trust myself to get places and make things happen. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I had an opportunity to meet incredible people, especially because the Stockholm program was so small, and to explore Sweden and Denmark as my homes away from home. It was a very worthwhile experience. Sarah Legried - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned about how Americans are viewed on a global scale. So interesting to hear the Scandinavian's impressions of Americans. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review

This merit-based award honors a beloved former DIS faculty member, Jacob Buksti, who passed away in 2016. Jacob built a strong legacy in modern Danish politics and made a deep impact on the hundreds of DIS students he taught from 2003 to 2016. Jacob served the Danish Social Democratic Party as a parliamentarian, party spokesperson, and Minister of Transportation during an impressive political career, and he was deeply devoted to sharing his work and passion with U.S. students at DIS. He loved being a politician and, even more than the theories and policy study that fueled his coursework, was passionate about the living, breathing game of European domestic and international politics. We offer this scholarship of up to $10,000 each semester to a deserving DIS Copenhagen or DIS Stockholm student who exhibits: A major in political science, international relations, government, public policy, economics, or a related field Passion about pursuing a career in politics An understanding of the work it takes to be actively engaged to advance yourself and your mission, interest in European/EU politics, and awareness that effective politics has many avenues A high GPA, strong personal essay, and recommendation from a professor or academic advisor Note: summer awards are not offered for this scholarship at this time.
