Grants for these purposes are paid out once a year around the donor's birthday on 22 June. The application period runs from 1 December at 00:01 to 1 February at 23:59. The foundation is administered through Handelsbanken Stiftelser & Filantropi, with a postal address at 106 70 Stockholm and contact details including a kansli telephone number and an email address at handelsbanken.se. The foundation has announced a change for the 2026 application round: the two previous categories within the study area — Studies and further education, and Upper secondary studies and studies at equivalent level — are being discontinued and replaced by Scholarships for higher studies abroad.
