The Rector awards the scholarships every year. Scholarships are awarded based on the student’s own application and financial situation, and starting from the second year of studies, also the student’s academic progress. The scholarship programme includes full tuition fee waivers (100%) and half tuition fee waivers (50%). Scholarships are awarded for not more than one year at a time. Scholarships are personal to the applicant to whom they are awarded, and there is no reserve list system in the scholarship programme. The decisions on scholarships cannot be appealed against.
If the information provided by the applicant proves to be inaccurate, the applicant is obligated to return the scholarship funds. The Scholarship Committee may ask the applicants to submit additional documents in order to prove their financial situation, for example.
In principle, the university does not award scholarships if the student has exceeded the normative duration of studies (Bachelor’s degree: 3 or 3.5 years, Master’s degree: 2 or 2.5 years depending on the target degree).
