EDUFI Fellowships Program in Finland

Application Process

• 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) on the official website.
• You are also advised to visit the Finnish universities’ own websites for detailed information on the Doctoral level study and research options the universities offer.
• If a Finnish university is willing to host you, then the Finnish university department wishing to host you can apply for the EDUFI Fellowship on your behalf. That is, only the hosting Finnish university can act as an ‘applicant’ in the EDUFI Fellowship program.
• The application form for the EDUFI Fellowship can be downloaded from the Apply Now section. Additionally, the following attachments are required for a EDUFI Fellowship application:

  -A motivation letter from the applicant (the hosting university), max 1 page
  – Complete CV of the scholarship candidate
  – Research plan (3-5 pages)

• Two printed and signed copies of the application with required attachments should be submitted to the following address: Finnish National Agency for Education (EDUFI), PO Box 380, 00531 Helsinki. Please mark the envelope with “EDUFI Fellowships”.
• There are no annual application deadlines in the EDUFI Fellowship program. Applications may be considered at all times. However, applications should be submitted at least 5 months before the intended scholarship period. Decisions will be made within approximately 3 months after receipt of application.
