Fulbright-University of Jyväskylä Graduate Award

The Fulbright-University of Jyväskylä Graduate Award is offered to U.S. students who wish to complete a full master's degree at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland. This award is a partnership between the Fulbright Finland Foundation and the University of Jyväskylä, designed to support academically talented students pursuing graduate education in Finland. The award includes a monthly grant for one academic year, full tuition scholarship for both years of master's studies (contingent on successful first-year performance), travel allowance, participation in a pre-approved summer school on Finnish language and culture, and residence permit allowance for the grantee and accompanying family members. The grant term begins in early September and lasts for 9 months. Grantees are required to attend a mandatory Arrival Orientation in late August and may participate in enrichment events throughout the year, including the American Voices seminar in the fall and a Mid-year meeting in the spring. The program provides comprehensive support for students seeking to immerse themselves in Finnish academic culture while pursuing advanced studies at one of Finland's leading universities.
