Lars Norrman’s fund
Purpose
In the artist Lars Norrman’s will from 1964, it states, among other things, that part of the annual return should go to foreign travel scholarships for the visually impaired. The scholarship must be used for the purpose of meeting visually impaired people in other countries or to participate in sports exchange within disability sports.
About the travel abroad scholarship
- A scholarship can be applied for a trip abroad with the aim of meeting visually impaired people in other countries or participating in sports exchange within disability sports in other countries, competitions or training.
- Applicants must be visually impaired. A certificate proving the visual impairment must be attached to the application.
- Applicants must be Swedish citizens and resident in Sweden.
- Applicants should be able to speak one or more languages in addition to Swedish.
- Scholarships can be applied for by an individual or by a group.
- Companions may come along if necessary.
- After the trip, a travel report must be sent to the Confederation of the Visually Impaired, which sends the report to the manager of the fund. Travel report must be submitted no later than two months after the end of the trip.
- The fund is announced twice a year, spring and autumn. SRF’s working committee makes the decisions.
