Fulbright Finland Travel Grants for Institutional Partnership Building

The Fulbright Finland Travel Grants for Institutional Partnership Building are short-term travel grants for higher education representatives from Finland to travel to the United States to initiate or advance long-term institutional partnerships. Visits may include making contacts, piloting collaboration projects, negotiating collaboration agreements, or expanding existing collaboration. The maximum stay in the U.S. is three months and the grant is not awarded solely for attending conferences. The programme is administered by the Fulbright Finland Foundation and includes advising and orientation services.

Travel and accommodation costs (up to a total grant amount, up to 4000 euros). Personal advising, orientation training (online materials and an orientation day in Helsinki), and access to alumni support networks. A special award is available for partnership building with Cleveland State University.

Open to representatives of higher education institutions in Finland, including administrators and faculty. Applicants need not be Finnish citizens but must reside in Finland at time of application and have a Finnish personal identity code. Previous recipients of any Fulbright Finland Foundation grants and Foundation staff are ineligible.

Applicants submit the programme application form (document linked on the Fulbright Finland site) and required recommendation letters via provided online forms.
