The University of Vaasa does not offer scholarships for international students. Graduate students are eligible for a Finnish state scholarship and a state-guaranteed bank loan only if they have lived in Finland for at least two years in some capacity other than that of a student and if their residence in Finland can be considered to be of a permanent nature. Those who have sufficient other income or who progress poorly in their studies are not eligible for support. As a rule, foreigners who have lived in Finland for less than two years are not eligible for financial support unless specific reasons make their residence in Finland permanent. More information may be obtained from the Academic Affairs' Office at the University.
Several scholarship schemes for international students are offered by CIMO (Centre for International Mobility). Website: www.cimo.fi
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE UNIVERSITY OF VAASA HAS NO SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMMES AND CANNOT OFFER ANY FINANCIAL AID FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS.
