Autumn in Sweden is a bit strange. Christmas is in the middle. School starts from September to the middle of January, and then enters Winter Term immediately. From the middle of January to the end of May and the beginning of June, and then summer vacation begins.
As far as I know, the information is quite true. Uppsala University has scholarships to apply for every semester, so there are three semesters to win prizes. Generally, the scholarship is based on the college. The scholarship is used to cover the tuition fees, but you can't see the money. But the scholarship for each semester is directly attached to your card. The physics department gives 25000 kroner for a semester, but there is a lot of competition because all students apply together. The insurance requirement is that every semester every course should be more than 90. As long as there is a course that is not vg, it is almost hopeless. You can go to the school's official website to see what vg means.
If you can get a recommendation letter from Joakim Nivre and have at least one top meeting, it will not be a problem to apply for NLP PhD in some better schools in North America.
