This article describes and discusses the first 20 years of the history of the Sweden-America Foundation, 1919-1939. The main focus of the Foundation during this time was to establish an exchange of scholars, students, and professionals across the Atlantic Ocean. An analysis of this fellowship program is the main focus of the article. Different kinds of fellows of the Foundation are distinguished and their time in the U.S. is examined. The most important of the categories were 'free studies" and the "Industrial Fellows." In both of these categories, a link to the needs of Swedish trade and economy is discerned through a large, and over time increasing, proportion of a practical emphasis of the fellows' studies in America. Moreover, the Foundations position in Sweden is discussed. Through an agreement between the Foundation and the American authorities, the Sweden-America Foundation became the gatekeeper for Swedes who sought to study and travel in America. For the Foundation, a careful- and strategic-selection of its fellows was a way to act in the Swedish national interest.
