Until the 2nd of May you have the possibility to nominate students for the Union award!

About the award

The Union award is the Student Union Malmö’s way to motivate, inspire and reward the students of Malmö University for increased engagement outside their studies.

The award consists of a scholarship and a diploma and is meant to reward students who through their engagement outside of their studies have in some way contributed to a betterment for our university and it’s students. The prize itself is meant to be used as the winners see fit.

This token of appreciation is handed out yearly to members of the Student Union, during a ceremony at the end of the spring semester. There are two individual scholarships worth 2500 kr each and one group scholarship (two or more). The group award also aims to reward individuals for their group work, hence an already established association CANNOT be nominated as a group.
