Study abroad scholarship
FeaturedMost Finnish universities waive 50–100% of tuition for non-EU students who meet the academic criteria. Assessed alongside your admission application in the January joint round, with results announced together with the admission decision.
Finland — A 50–100% tuition waiver, sometimes with a first-year living allowance
Finnish universities waive part or all of the tuition for international bachelor students on English-taught programmes, assessed together with the admission file in the January joint application round.
Worth remembering: Finland runs one early joint deadline for nearly all English-taught programmes, and missing it means waiting a full year.
What the fund pays for. Exact amounts can change each round — check against the announcement for the open round.
Conditions published by the fund. Missing any one of these usually means rejection at the procedural stage, before the file reaches the selection panel.
Apply within the January joint round. This is a hard deadline for nearly every English-taught bachelor programme.
Many programmes require their own entrance test alongside school records.
Meet the English threshold of the programme. Finnish-taught programmes are a different route entirely.
The documents usually required. Each round has its own official list published by the fund, so check again before submitting.
The language threshold is the first eligibility gate — the certificate must be valid at the time of submission. This is the part Wobridge Academy is responsible for and can measure.
Threshold required: IELTS 6.5
Band 0.0 – 4.5
For complete beginners, or anyone rebuilding their English from the ground up before starting exam preparation.
What you study
The four steps below are what the centre does with you. The award decision rests with the fund panel — the centre cannot influence it, and does not promise on their behalf.
Take a placement test to measure the gap between your current level and the language threshold this award requires, then set a study plan around the months left before the deadline.
Follow the plan with regular mock tests so progress stays measurable. This is the part the centre is responsible for.
Read through essays, reference letters and transcript conversions before submission, checked against the document list the fund publishes for the open round.
Submit on time through the fund portal, then record the application number and response milestones. The award decision rests with the fund panel.
Some programmes run a second round, but with far fewer places and fields. If you are still training, the January date is the milestone to count backwards from when scheduling the certificate exam.
No. The certificate must be valid at the time of submission, and most funds reject incomplete files. Test early so there are enough months left to train.
The centre teaches the language and reviews the file before submission. Essays and reference letters must still be your own — panels recognise ghost-written work quickly.
A few awards for the same countries, to compare before you commit.
Full scholarship · Full award: tuition, a 1,400 euro monthly allowance, travel costs and insurance
A European Union scholarship for joint master's programmes taught across at least two member countries. One application covers the whole consortium rather than each university separately.
Partial scholarship · A 50–100% tuition discount, with 5,000–10,000 euros of living support on some programmes
Master's scholarships awarded by individual Finnish universities, usually combining a tuition discount with a living allowance. Some programmes require a separate application alongside the admission file.
Book a consultation to measure your current level, compare it against the threshold this award requires, then count backwards from the deadline.
