University of Helsinki Funds - Scholarship

Suoma Loimaranta-Airila's Fund scholarship

You will receive a one-off grant of 3,000 EUR for your Master’s thesis or 1,000 EUR for a period of study abroad as part of an exchange programme. The exchange grant is valid for a period abroad commencing in the same year in which you receive the funds. The fund is one of over 350 funds managed by the University of Helsinki’s funds, which award grants to the university’s own students and researchers.
