Each institution has its own set of scholarships so once you have found a suitable study programme, you can check if the programme offers a scholarship for non-EU/EEA students. You can typically find instructions for applying for a scholarship alongside the application information.
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Who offers scholarships / waivers | Finnish universities and universities of applied sciences (UAS) for non-EU/EEA students |
| What is offered | Tuition fee waivers or partial/full scholarships |
| What is not covered | Living costs are not included in these scholarships |
| When to apply | Usually applied for at the same time as submitting admission applications |
| How to find available programmes | Information is published by each university or UAS; students check their chosen institution’s details |
| Important note | Some external advertisements claim “fully funded government scholarships” covering tuition, travel, and living costs — these are misleading; the real scholarships only cover tuition (not living expenses) |
