Antti Palva Fund - Scholarship

What you get

You will receive a one-off grant for your doctoral thesis on ear, nose and throat disorders at the University of Oulu in Finland. The funding comes from the Antti Palva and Martti Sorri Fund, one of the 25 named funds administered by the Oulun yliopiston tukisäätiö (University of Oulu Scholarship Foundation). It will be paid as a one-off lump sum, not as a monthly stipend. Travel expenses alone will not be covered.

• Where you study: You are enrolled at the University of Oulu’s Doctoral School and are conducting research there.
