The EDUFI Fellowships program is available to young Doctoral level pupils and researchers from all countries and from all academic fields who wish to pursue their Doctorate (or Double Doctorate) at a Finnish university. Master’s level studies or post-doctoral studies/research are not supported in the program.
Eligibility Criteria/ Scholarship Guidelines
The condition for applying is that the visiting researcher must have established contacts with a Finnish host university – please see the section ‘Doctoral Admissions‘ for further information (you’ll find links to the universities’ Doctoral Admissions pages there). One is also advised to visit the Finnish universities’ own websites for information on Doctoral level study and research options.
If a Finnish university is willing to host you, then the Finnish university department that wishes to host you can apply to EDUFI for the grant on your behalf. In other words, only the Finnish university hosting a pupil can act as an “applicant” in the EDUFI Fellowship program.
