U.S. Embassy Finland - Transatlantic Studies Scholarship

The money is strictly for research costs: materials, software licences, fees to attend academic seminars or conferences, and research-related travel. It does not cover living costs. The award comes from the Public Diplomacy Section of the U.S. Embassy in Finland, which gives it out once a year to a student writing a thesis connected to the United States.
