Fulbright-University of Helsinki Graduate Award

The Fulbright-University of Helsinki Graduate Award is offered to pursue an International Master's Degree Program at the University of Helsinki. This partnership award provides comprehensive support for U.S. students to complete a full master's degree in Finland. The award includes a monthly stipend of EUR 1,000 for 9 months, international travel support of USD 1,600, a full tuition scholarship that covers the entire annual tuition fee, and access to a pre-approved summer school on Finnish language and culture. The tuition scholarship is also granted for the second year of master's studies provided that the grantee has been successful in their studies during the first year. Recipients are eligible to participate in enrichment events during the academic year, including the American Voices seminar in the fall and the Mid-year meeting in the spring. The Fulbright Finland Foundation organizes a compulsory Arrival Orientation in late August in the capital city region. The award is open to U.S. students who hold a minimum of a bachelor's degree, and academically talented graduating seniors may also apply before having their degree in hand.
