About the Lawson Scholarship
The scholarship was established by Professor Harold “Bud” Lawson, one of the founders of IDA, to promote internationalisation at the department. Following Professor Lawson’s passing in 2019, his son Adrian Lawson assumed the role of presenting the award certificates.
This year, Suleman Khan received the certificates from Adrian Lawson in a ceremony at IDA’s information meeting on 26, March 2026. The prize is SEK 10 000.
