Partnership scholarship program for Russian universities
The aim of the scholarship program is to create more extensive cooperation between LUT and a number of Russian universities on education and research and to strengthen these networks, as well as to transfer knowledge between the Finnish and Russian economies.
Students coming from these Russian universities do not have to specifically apply for this particular scholarship. The student applies for a scholarship in one of the categories mentioned above, while LUT takes care of granting the possible scholarship from this programme whenever the student becomes eligible for this scholarship.

NOTE: The granting for the scholarships varies from programme to programme by the admitted type of scholarship as well as by the number of scholarships admitted within a certain type of scholarship.
