More About Cimo Scholarships

CIMO awards and administers scholarships for international students, postgraduate students (after Master-level), researchers (postgraduates after Master-level degree or postdoctorates), teachers and administrational staff of universities. An average of 700 persons come to Finland under the various scholarship programmes every year.

By offering scholarships, CIMO supports the internationalisation of teaching and research by forging links and encouraging academic mobility between institutions of higher education in Finland and abroad.Please note that CIMO does not have any scholarships applicable to Bachelor's or Master's level degree studies in Finland.

Scholarships are offered to applicants from all countries, or to applicants from certain countries only, depending on the scholarship programme. Each scholarship programme has its own eligibility criteria, application procedures, application deadline and application form. To find out whether you would be an eligible applicant, and how the CIMO scholarships are applied for, please refer to the more detailed descriptions of each programme (see the menu on the left-hand margin of this page).

A scholarship normally consists of a monthly allowance. The amount of a scholarship varies according to the scholarship programme and the academic qualifications of the applicant. No additional expenses, such as travel, housing or insurance, are covered by a scholarship. For further information on practical issues and how to arrive in Finland, please see the section Practicalities on this web service.

NB: As mentioned above, CIMO does not have any scholarships of it's own for Bachelor's or Master's level degree studies in Finland. However, if you apply to the Erasmus Mundus Master courses in Finland, note that there are scholarship available to these particular programmes through the European Commission - these Erasmus Mundus scholarships are not applied from CIMO, but from the coordinating university of each Erasmus Mundus Master's course.
