      Melker Schörling scholarship

      The knowledge and experience of our people is the foundation of Securitas. The Melker Schörling Scholarship offers our people the opportunity to develop professional knowledge and experience in an international setting. The scholarship is offered annually to two or three front line employees who consistently make a difference for our clients every day and have the potential to grow within the organization.

      International training opportunities

      Established in 1992, the Melker Schörling Scholarship was created when Melker Schörling left his position as President and CEO to become Chairman of the Board. The purpose of the scholarship is to offer international training opportunities within a specific area/topic in a country where Securitas operates.

      Who can apply?

      Applicants should be part of the front line workforce who, through actions big and small, demonstrate how they make a difference for our clients.

      Qualifications

      To qualify, a candidate should prepare a brief statement describing an event or experience where they prevented a loss, damage or harm in their role by living our purpose and values. This short statement should describe what happened, when it occurred, who was involved and how their actions helped make the world a safer place.

      The applicant should also describe how they and their organization would benefit from an international experience.
