Stiftelsen Arcada is a Swedish-language higher education foundation centered on Arcada University of Applied Sciences in Helsinki. Its giving is tightly aligned with the institution’s academic mission, supporting applied research, education, student development, and knowledge transfer in technical fields, business, entrepreneurship, and health/welfare. The foundation typically funds projects and individuals connected to Arcada or Swedish-language educational environments in Finland, often through program-specific grants, stipends, and research awards.
Program-based and institutionally linked giving, with annual application windows for some funds and invite-only access for others. Grants range from smaller stipends/awards to substantial research and development support, often tied to Arcada faculty, students, or partner programs.
Watch the annual spring application window for the public funds (noted as early February to early March 2026), and prepare materials in Swedish or for a Swedish-language academic context. For the entrepreneurship and health/welfare funds, expect invite-only access and build relationships with Arcada leadership, faculty, or program staff rather than submitting an unsolicited proposal.
