Fulbright Finland Doctoral Award

The Fulbright Finland Doctoral Award is targeted for doctoral degree studies or doctoral research visits to any Finnish university chosen by the candidate. Research institutions can also be considered. This award is primarily targeted for current Doctoral candidates coming to conduct their doctoral research in Finland and for students seeking to complete a full doctoral degree program in Finland. The grant provides a 9-month award period beginning in early September, with a compulsory Arrival Orientation in Finland in late August. Grantees receive a monthly stipend, travel allowance, health benefits, and access to enrichment events including the American Voices seminar and Mid-year meeting. Finnish or Swedish language proficiency is not required as Finnish universities have a wide selection of programs and courses taught in English. Candidates are responsible for establishing contact and securing an affiliation with a Finnish institution of higher education and must apply independently for admission to the university.
