Who can apply?

To apply for the scholarship, you also need to meet the following criteria:

  • You have been pre-approved to carry out research relating to a doctoral level thesis or been invited as a doctoral student in a Finnish university or a public research centre.
  • You have a letter of invitation from a supervisor in a Finnish university or a research centre, stating that this host is committed to working with you.
  • You have not already studied or worked in a Finnish university for more than a year immediately before the planned start of the scholarship period.
  • You can demonstrate your proficiency in English with an official language test (IELTS, TOEFL) and can attach a certificate for this in your application form. Alternatively, it is confirmed in the invitation letter from the university that they regard your language skills sufficient for research and studies in a university in Finland.

These scholarships are based on bilateral agreements between Finland and other countries.

Annual application deadline

The application deadline is once a year. The call for applications is sent to each participating country during September, calling for scholarship applications for the academic year starting in the autumn of the following year.

You submit your application to the scholarship authorities in your own country by the national application deadline set by them. You can find the contact information for the national authorities at Countries and authorities.

After a pre-selection, the authorities in your country will put forward a maximum of 10 applications to EDUFI at the latest by 15 February or the nearest weekday to this date.
