Aalto University continues to offer study rights without fees to Ukraine’s university students. Ukrainian university students, and students who have received asylum from Ukraine, may apply to Aalto University for a separate right to study without tuition fees if the war has interrupted their studies. While the separate study right entitles students to complete individual study units, not a degree, students may apply to Aalto University later for bachelor’s or master’s degree studies.
You have now an opportunity to help students from Ukraine affected by the current humanitarian crisis.
Donations to the Aalto University Ukraine Fund will be used for scholarships to help students cover their living costs during their studies in Finland.
The grant is worth EUR 800 a month and will benefit 20 students given a separate right to study. Students will receive the funds when they begin their studies and can continue to receive support until 31 July 2023, as long as they are still studying. In addition, students will get a travel grant of EUR 400 when their right to study begins.
Donations to the Ukraine Fund will be of great significance for students coming from Ukraine. They will make it possible for students to continue their studies, which have been interrupted by the war.
