3CIMO ScholarshipsThe Centre for International Mobility CIMOawards

and administers scholarships for students and researchers.

CIMO does not have any scholarship programmes or other

financial assistance available for degree studies at bachelors

or masters level in Finland; scholarships are mainly intended

for postgraduate students who have completed a masters

degree.

Through its scholarship programmes, CIMO supports the

internationalisation of teaching and research by forging links

and encouraging academic mobility between institutions of

higher education in Finland and abroad.

Scholarships are available for applicants from all countries.

Each CIMO scholarship programme has its own eligibility

criteria, application procedures and deadlines. A scholarship

normally consists of a monthly allowance intended to coverliving expenses in Finland for a single person. The amount of

a scholarship varies according to the scholarship programme

and academic qualification of the applicant. No additional

expenses such as travel, housing, or insurance are covered

by a scholarship.
