University of Vaasa International Excellence Scholarship

About this scholarship

The University of Vaasa International Excellence Scholarship is part of the university's scholarship scheme for students subject to tuition fees. The official general information page for applications states that the University of Vaasa provides a scholarship scheme for tuition-fee-liable students and that the scholarship information applies to students admitted in the autumn 2026 intake. The International Excellence Scholarship is granted as a first-year tuition fee waiver, with later progression-based waivers available under the programme rules. For example, the page states that for the third year of bachelor's studies the university offers a EUR 5,000 tuition fee waiver to students who complete 120 ECTS by the stated date. The award is recorded as partial funding because it reduces tuition fees but does not cover full tuition in every year, living costs, accommodation, travel, insurance, or personal expenses. Students should check the degree-level fee and scholarship section for their programme and follow admission instructions closely.
