Other external scholarship tips

In addition, there is the Swedish Student Fund (studiefonden.fi) from which everyone who study in Swedish can apply for scholarships.

If you are going to the US, we also recommend applying from Fulbright Finland (www.fulbright.fi/grant-programs-us) and Suomi-American Yhdistysten Liitto (samsuomi.fi/apurahat/)
