Practical information
If you are accepted to the She Entrepreneurs Program, all costs in association with program participation will be covered by the Swedish Institute as detailed below.
Accommodation, food and travel
All costs related to accommodation, food and transport during the She Entrepreneurs Program are covered by the Swedish Institute. The Institute will pay for air travel to and from Sweden and to the location of the second module of the program in the MENA region. Participants are themselves responsible for costs related to transport within their own countries. Swedish participants are expected to stay at the same hotel(s) as the MENA participants during the first module in Sweden.

The Swedish Institute will reimburse participants for the cost of the insurance later.

Selected participants will receive more information about how to arrange a visa for the first module in Sweden shortly after having been accepted to the program.
