Finland - between East and West... but further to the north
The cost of living in Finland is about the same as in other EU countries. Students are aided by their student card which will help in cutting costs by getting meals and other services at a student price in your institution, plus reductions on public transport, in museums and at various cultural events and recreational activities.

The Centre for International Mobility, CIMO and a number of other organisations grant scholarships for postgraduate studies and research in Finland. There are also certain scholarship programmes in which the grant is always applied by a hosting Finnish university department or university research institute.
CIMO awards scholarships for postgraduate students and young researchers who have completed a master or doctoral level degree, as well as for teachers and administrative staff from universities abroad. In general, there are two types of scholarships: individual scholarships which young researchers apply for themselves; and host fellowships which are applied for by the Finnish higher education departments wishing to host researchers and postgraduates. Additionally, scholarships are available for those students wishing to pursue postgraduate programmes or research in Finnish language and literature and in Finno-Ugric linguistics, ethnology and folklore. Application procedures and requirements vary, so it is best to refer to the CIMO website for full details.
