Scholarships to study in Finland

Scholarship options
Scholarships in Finland are mainly available for Doctoral level studies and research only, however, there are some exceptions.

Scholarships that you can apply from Finland include:
CIMO scholarship programmes for Doctoral level studies and research at Finnish universities.
Institutional scholarships offered by the higher education institutions themselves, especially for those enrolled in Master’s programmes that carry a tuition fee for non-EU/EEA nationals.

No tuition fees are charged in Bachelor’s level degree programmes in Finland. The same is true of several Master’s programmes. The cost of this education is covered by the Finnish government, therefore, there are usually no scholarships available.

However, in those Master's level programmes that charge a tuition fee from non-EU/EEA students, institutional scholarships for non-EU/EEA students are available. These institutional scholarships are always applied for directly from the university in question.

In the Erasmus Mundus Master's programmes, scholarships are also available. They are always applied via the university consortium offering the Erasmus Mundus programme in question.
