money for 'nothing'

There's so much of a selection to browse through, that I decided to narrow down my grant searches to Swedish & Scandinavian related studies, something that I'm interested in following through with once I graduate. Here are three I found:

1. Bicentennial Swedish-American Exchange Fund
The Bicentennial Swedish-American Exchange Fund is a professional travel grant administered by the Consulate General of Sweden in New York in support of intensive research trips to Sweden of two to four weeks in length. Applicants should have well-developed projects within the fields of politics, public policy, economics, science, healthcare, education, media, or culture. The grant is specifically intended for professional enrichment and is not applicable to work related to academic degrees, programs, or conferences. (Grants up to 30,000 SEK) - http://www.swedenabroad.com/Page____18552.aspx

2. Awards for Study in Scandinavia
The ASF offers fellowships and grants to individuals to pursue research or study in one or more Scandinavian country for up to one year. Awards are made in all fields. Applicants must have a well-defined research or study project that makes a stay in Scandinavia essential. Applicants must be United States citizens or permanent residents. Applicants must have completed their undergraduate education by the start of their project in Scandinavia. Team projects are eligible, but each member must apply as an individual, submitting a separate, fully documented application. First priority will be given to applicants who have not previously received an ASF award. Only in exceptional cases will a third award be considered. (Grants up to $23,000) - http://www.amscan.org/study_scandinavia_details.html

3. SASS Swedish Travel Grant
The Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Study (SASS) Swedish Travel Grant is an academic travel grant in support of study or research in Swedish literature, culture, or social sciences. ($1,000) - http://www.swedenabroad.com/pages/general____18552.asp

So, this is all quite interesting and I'll definitely keep this all in mind as I move into graduating and going towards my Graduate work...
