![]() Grants available through our university
When doing a traineeship abroad and getting your traineeship credits accepted to your degree, you are eligible for a traineeship grant. The amount of the grant depends on the chosen exchange programme and on the length of the traineeship. You may get a grant for a Traineeship that lasts 2-6 months. You can apply for our exchange grants through the SoleGRANT system, which is accessed by first logging in to the SoleMOVE system.
You will get the grant in two parts: the first payment is 80 % of the total grant amount and it is paid before the exchange. The second one is 20 % of the total amount and it is paid after the traineeship. To get the second payment you are required to complete the reporting.
External grants
You are recommended to request external grants from foundations, organizations, funds, societies, etc. You may request for example grants of the Finnish National Acency for Education, country-specific grants, or grants given by organizations such as the Finnish Japanese Society. There are plenty of tips and links available on the Internet. You should also be active and apply in good time because each organization has its own application period.
