If you're a young student looking for adventure and new experiences, Finland is the perfect
0:20
place to start. With its world-class education system, stunning natural beauty, and rich cultural offerings
0:28
Finland offers a wealth of opportunities for students looking to study abroad
0:33
Of course, the cost of studying abroad can be a major concern, especially if you're
0:38
looking to live independently in Finland. Fortunately, there are ways to study in Finland for free, such as applying for scholarships
0:46
and financial aid. With some research and careful planning, you can achieve your academic goals and study
0:52
in Finland without breaking the bank. So here are three ways for you to study in Finland for free
1:00
The first step to studying in Finland is to prepare your application early
1:04
You'll want to give yourself plenty of time to complete all the necessary paperwork and
1:09
make sure you meet the submission deadline. Before sending out any applications, check out the list of requirements for the universities
1:17
you wish to apply to, and allow sufficient time to complete the documents and paperwork
1:23
A crucial step that can mean success or failure on your application is meeting the submission deadline
1:29
To ensure that you don't miss it, it's best to submit your application as soon as it opens
1:36
Typically, Finnish universities open their application process annually in January if you're looking to start your studies in September
1:44
There are also quite a few degree programs that open their application in September and
1:49
start their classes in January. What's also great about preparing your application early is that you'll have more time to look
1:56
for funding sources, such as scholarships and grants, which is another excellent way
2:01
to study in Finland for free. Another way to study in Finland for free is to apply for scholarships and financial aid
2:09
Many universities in Finland offer scholarships to students both from European Union countries
2:15
and from non-European Union countries. So be sure to research your options and apply for as many scholarships as you can to increase
2:23
your chances of getting accepted. For example, the University of Tampere offers full scholarships to students through a merit-based
2:32
scholarship program. The University of Oulu and the University of Turku also provides full tuition scholarships
2:39
for undergraduate students. You can also find full scholarships for graduate students at the University of Helsinki, which
2:47
also provides up to 10,000 euros in grants. Before we continue, be sure to check out the link in the description below to find more

scholarships in Finland for international students. While Finland is an amazing place to live, it is no secret that this Scandinavian country
3:05
is one of the most costly places in the world to live. In fact, it belongs to the top 20% of countries with the highest cost of living
3:14
So you can expect that finances might come as a problem when you don't prepare for your
3:17
education in Finland. If you're from any of the European Union countries, know that the universities in Finland will
3:26
let you study tuition-free. But if you're from a non-European Union country, you will have to pay the tuition costs
3:34
Luckily, there are still affordable universities in Finland that you can attend
3:39
For example, the Diakonia University of Applied Sciences and the Kajani University of Applied
3:45
Sciences have tuition fees ranging from 4,300 US dollars to 6,400 US dollars
