Applicants for Finland Fellowships must be citizens of a country in Africa, Central America or South America. Applicants with dual citizenship in Finland and one of the target nations may receive a Finland Fellowship only if their domicile is not Finland.</p> <p>Some of the terms of the fellowships to be granted have been changed. The amount of the fellowship per person is <strong>€2800/month for 12 months in addition to a €2000 arrival grant for moving expenses</strong>. Aalto scheme covers altogether 10 doctoral students annually. Each School has a quota (ARTS 1 student, BIZ 1 student, CHEM 1 student, ELEC 2 students, ENG 2 students and SCI 3 students), but in case there are not enough eligible applicants in some school, the funds will be used for applicants from other schools, if possible. </p> <p>Finland Fellowships are paid in accordance with Aalto University Human Resources processes to Finnish bank accounts. Students who are absent for reasons permissible by law during the first year, who are prevented from beginning studies in Finland due to force majeure circumstances, or who already have funding for the next two years, may postpone their Finland Fellowship for a maximum of two academic years.</p> <p>Students <strong>apply for Finland Fellowships when applying for doctoral studies at Aalto</strong>. Finland Fellowships are awarded only by application. Decisions on Finland Fellowships are made only for those students who have applied for them. The dean decides on the recipients of the fellowship. During 2024, fellowship decisions can be made throughout the year, on first come, first served -basis.</p> <p>By signing the employment contract, students confirm their acceptance of a Finland Fellowship with its monthly pay and its arrival grant. Students may also choose to decline a Finland Fellowship. This situation may arise for students who have funding from an external sponsor, for example. In such cases, the student declares to Doctoral Education Services in writing that he/she is declining the Finland Fellowship.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="aalto-component-wrapper aalto-component aalto-component-wrapper--manual-liftup-medium aalto-liftup-m " lang="en" style=""> <div class="component-container"> <div class="aalto-manual-liftup__header"> <div class="aalto-manual-liftup__header-content"> <h2 class="aalto-manual-liftup__header-title" id="liftup-title-id-1717205939"> Contact information </h2> <div class="aalto-manual-liftup__header-body"> <div class="aalto-user-generated-content"><p>If you don't know which doctoral progamme is relevant for your, read more about <a href="/en/node/1010071">discovering your research topic and finding a professor</a>.</p> <p>If you have questions about applying for the study right in one of your doctoral programmes, please contact our Doctoral education services staff.
