Fulbright-University of Turku Graduate Award

Up to 2 awards are offered annually to pursue study or research at the Master's or Doctoral level at the University of Turku in Finland. Degree studies at the Master's level are preferred when considering eligible applicants. The award is aimed at those currently seeking admittance or admitted to the University of Turku degree programs, either to doctoral programs or Master's degree programs. Doctoral projects including postdoc placements or Master-level non-degree studies can also be considered. The award includes a monthly grant for 9 months, international travel benefits, full tuition scholarship, a Fulbright Finland pre-approved summer school on Finnish language and culture, and residence permit allowance. The grantee will be eligible to participate in a Fulbright Finland Foundation pre-approved summer school consisting of courses on the Finnish language, culture, and society. The Fulbright Finland Foundation organizes an Arrival Orientation in Finland in the capital city region in late August, which is a compulsory part of the grant program. Grantees are provided with many enrichment events during the academic year, including the American Voices seminar in the fall and the Mid-year meeting in the Spring.
