Helsinki Summer School is able to grant a limited number of full or partial scholarships. A full scholarship covers the registration fee, the course fee, and accommodation (a bed in a double or triple room at Eurohostel). It is not payable in cash and covers neither transportation nor living expenses (board). A partial scholarship covers the registration fee and the course fee, but not accommodation.
Please note that the number of applications is likely to exceed the number of available scholarships. This means that competition for the scholarships will be keen. In order to ensure your participation, we recommend that you take other steps to secure your own funding, for example, by turning first to your home institution or other local sources of financial aid. Please inform us as soon as possible if you have applied for a Helsinki Summer School scholarship but have managed to raise your own funds. We recommend that you try to raise funds to cover your transportation and/or living expenses as early as possible.
NB! If you apply for a scholarship, you can not book a place on the course before the scholarship competition results are announced.
Helsinki Summer School provides a limited number of scholarships for talented students. Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of academic performance, personal achievement and financial need.
Scholarships are awarded only to applicants currently enrolled at a university or college. Scholarships are not granted to students living in Finland or studying at a Finnish university.
Scholarship recipients are obliged to take part in all course meetings and activities. They are also required to complete the final essay and/or the final exam according to the requirements of the course they are enrolled in. After successfully completing the course, the scholarship recipients will receive a scholarship diploma.
