Program Overview
Finland has no single government scholarship for master's students. Finnish universities offer their own scholarships, usually tuition fee waivers, to students from outside the EU and EEA who must pay tuition fees. You usually apply for the scholarship from the university at the same time as you apply for admission.
The national joint application for English-taught programmes that start in autumn 2027 runs from 7 to 21 January 2027 on Studyinfo.fi and closes at 15:00 Finnish time. One official page, from the University of Helsinki, shows 5 to 19 January 2027 instead, so check the Studyinfo page of your own programme. You can apply for up to six programmes on one form, and non-EU/EEA citizens pay a one-time national application fee of 100 euros. This page was last checked against Study in Finland and university websites on 7 October 2026.

Official Application WebsiteFrequently Asked Questions
It varies by program and by your previous education. Some providers accept other English tests, and some waive the test if your earlier degree was taught in English. Check the official program requirements before you apply.
The official deadline is 1/21/2027. We highly recommend submitting your application at least a week prior to avoid server congestion.
Most universities allow you to apply with a "Hope Certificate" or provisional transcript if you are in your final semester, provided you graduate before the intake starts.
This varies by university. Many fully funded scholarships cover or waive application fees, but some may still require an initial processing fee. Refer to the official guidelines.
For PhD and some Master's programs, securing an acceptance letter from a professor is often mandatory. For undergraduate programs, it is usually not required.
