The scholarship recipients’ progress in studies will be monitored each academic year. In order to retain the full Tampere University tuition fee scholarship in the following year of studies, the recipient must earn at least 55 credits during the academic year as detailed in the personal study plan. If a scholarship recipient completes 50-54 credits during the academic year, his or her scholarship will be reduced to 50 % in the following academic year. If a scholarship recipient completes less than 50 credits during the academic year, he or she will be charged the full tuition fee in the following academic year.
The early bird scholarship covering 50% of the tuition fees is available for all fee-paying students who have not been awarded a Tampere University global student award for academic excellence or tuition fee scholarship on admission. Students may take advantage of the early bird scholarship by accepting their study place offer and paying 50% of the tuition fee within two weeks after receiving the letter of acceptance. This offer is valid only for the first year of studies. All fee-paying students are eligible to apply for Tampere University scholarships also after the first year of studies.
Tampere University scholarships awarded after the first year of studies:
All students subject to tuition fees, both Tampere University scholarship recipients and fee-paying students, have the possibility to apply for the Tampere University global student award for academic excellence scholarships after the first year of their studies and thereafter annually. The Tampere University global student award for academic excellence scholarship includes a 7,000 € annual scholarship to cover the student’s living expenses and covers 100% of the tuition fees for one academic year at a time. Students are eligible to apply for this scholarship if they have obtained at least 55 credits with a GPA no less than 4/5 during the academic year.
If a fee-paying student does very well in his or her studies, i.e. finishes 60 ECTS credits with a GPA no less than 3/5 in an academic year, the student may also apply for a Tampere University tuition fee scholarship covering 50% of the tuition fees after the first year of studies and thereafter annually.
Scholarships are awarded after the first year of studies for one year at a time upon application.
