Fulbright Finland Partnership Award with Vanderbilt University

The Fulbright Finland Partnership Award with Vanderbilt University supports Finnish students admitted to Vanderbilt University for undergraduate studies by providing additional benefits from the Fulbright Finland Foundation. Eligible students are those admitted with the Hilppa A.K. Roby Scholarship or with any of Vanderbilt University's merit-based scholarships. Benefits include orientation, advising, visa support, alumni networking and access to Fulbright Finland services; the Roby Scholarship provides full tuition and additional need-based support and stipends from Vanderbilt.

Full tuition (Roby Scholarship); potential additional need-based funding for room, board and fees; one-time stipend up to $5,000 for summer study/research; $1,500 per year travel allowance to/from Finland; Fulbright Finland orientation seminar, personal advising, visa support, alumni network access, grant award ceremony.

Candidates must have Finnish citizenship (Finnish–U.S. dual citizens are not eligible), be accepted into Vanderbilt University with the Hilppa A.K. Roby Scholarship or with Vanderbilt merit-based scholarships, and must not already study or live in the U.S. Applicants must meet Vanderbilt’s admission criteria and apply for need-based financial assistance when required.

Applicants must apply for admission to Vanderbilt University and complete Vanderbilt’s forms for need-based financial aid and merit-based scholarships; admitted Finnish candidates with the Roby or merit scholarships are automatically considered by Fulbright Finland and will be interviewed by the Foundation in Helsinki.
