Study in Finland—Scholarships 2025–2026 (Info & Official Sources)
Summary for prospective bachelor’s & master’s applicants—verified from official Finnish sources.
Summary
Finland’s universities and universities of applied sciences (UAS) offer a variety of scholarships and tuition-fee waivers for international (non-EU/EEA) students.
There is no single centralized “Finland Government fully-funded scholarship” for Bachelor’s/Master’s that covers all living costs—scholarships are normally offered at the university/program level.
For doctoral fellowships and research mobility, the Finnish National Agency for Education (EDUFI) runs separate fellowships.
(Official information: Study in Finland—Bachelor’s & Master’s Scholarships; EDUFI Fellowship.)
Scholarship summary
- Country: Finland
- Host: Individual Finnish universities/UAS (not a single government package)
- Study level: Bachelor’s / Master’s (varies by program)

Eligibility (common criteria)
- Citizenship: usually open to non-EU/EEA international students (many ads target students from developing countries, but eligibility is set by each university).
- Educational requirement: high school diploma (for bachelor’s) or prior degree (for master’s).
- Language: good command of English (or Finnish/Swedish if the program requires it); standard tests (IELTS/TOEFL) may be requested.
- Not currently enrolled in a Finnish degree program (verify specific rules with the university).
- Additional university-specific requirements (portfolios, motivation letters, transcripts, references)—check the program page.
Important official notes & cautions
Be careful with third-party pages or social posts that claim a single “Finland Government fully-funded scholarship” covering tuition + living + travel for all Bachelor’s/Master’s applicants.
The official Study in Finland portal clarifies that scholarships are provided by universities and that university scholarships typically cover tuition; they do not, as a rule, cover living or travel costs. Always verify scholarships on the university’s official site.

Quick checklist before you apply
- Pick a specific Finnish university & program—don’t apply to a generic “government scholarship.”
- Read the program scholarship page for exact coverage (tuition only vs. stipend + housing).
- Prepare transcripts, English test scores, motivation letters, and references well in advance.
- Check exact deadlines on the university program page (they vary).
