Apply for the Stefan Larsson “Dare to dream”-scholarship!

The Hanken alumnus Stefan Larsson’s “Dare to Dream” scholarship will be awarded to one Hanken student who is currently pursuing master studies and aims to graduate in 2025. This student will have Stefan Larsson as a mentor for one year and gets to visit him for a week in New York. The application period runs until 30 April 2024.

The scholarship includes:
•    Personal mentorship through monthly mentorship calls with Stefan Larsson, CEO of PVH Corp. (owner of Calvin Klein and TOMMY HILFIGER) between August 2024 and June 2025
•    A week in New York, joining Stefan to directly experience the day-to-day role of a CEO for a global fashion group.

  • Throughout the week, you will have opportunities to meet and learn from other global business leaders in a variety of consumer facing leadership roles.
  • Travel and hotel expenses will be covered by the scholarship.

Stefan credits his multiple mentors throughout his career for inspiring him to dream, helping him to see what is possible, and advising him on key career decisions. He believes mentorship is a key factor in helping to build out your dream and reach your full potential.
