Information about scholarship conditions
A scholarship holder is not employed and is therefore not covered by any collective agreement. For example, scholarship holders cannot receive per diem for business trips, do not have any vacation, or the possibility of reimbursement for wellness activities.
A scholarship is received tax-free and does not qualify for sickness or parental benefits. Since the scholarship amount is not taxed, it also does not provide any pension rights.
A scholarship holder is not covered by occupational injury insurance but is covered by the Work Environment Act. LiU has a responsibility for the work environment but is not expected to conduct annual employee interviews. However, it is important that the scholarship holder feels socially included in the workplace. A foreign scholarship holder is covered by the insurance for foreign visitors, but due to the above, all scholarship holders should review their insurance coverage.
