University of Helsinki Scholarships support international students applying to master's programmes in Finland, mainly through tuition fee waivers and, in some cases, additional relocation or living support.

The Research Council of Finland funds research projects, doctoral researcher posts, and postdoctoral positions in Finland across many disciplines. Support is usually delivered through funded university positions rather than a single direct scholarship for all applicants.

Finland Government Scholarships and Finnish university waivers support international students applying for Master's study in Finland, while PhD study is generally tuition-free and often offered through salaried research positions.
