The Finnish Government Scholarship Pool programme is open to young researchers from all academic fields. The scholarship cannot be applied for Master's level studies or post-Doctoral studies/research. Very importantThe Finnish Government Scholarship Pool programme application form is not an application for a study/research placement. It is merely an application for funding. In order to be an eligible applicant for this scholarship, you must first successfully apply for a study/research placement at a Finnish university/public research institute - in other words, you must be at least provisionally accepted either as a visiting Doctoral-level student/researcher, or as a full-time Doctoral degree student. Please see section Doctoral Admissions for information on how to apply for a Doctoral-level study or research placement in Finland. Who can apply? The scholarships are based mainly on cultural agreements or similar arrangements between Finland and the following countries: Australia China Cuba Egypt India (NB: not applicable for the academic year 2016-2017) * Israel Japan Mexico Mongolia Namibia Republic of Korea Turkey Ukraine USA (please see the section Fulbright-CIMO grants on the  HYPERLINK "http://us.fulbrightonline.org/countries/selectedcountry/finland" Fulbright Online website) *) The continuation of India's participation in this scholarship programme is currently under discussion. Unfortunately Indian students and researchers cannot apply for this particular scholarship for the academic year 2016-2017. Only the nationals of the above-mentioned countries can be considered eligible applicants in this scholarship programme. (If you are not a national of any of the above countries, you cannot apply for this particular scholarship - however, please see the other scholarship options in the section ' HYPERLINK "http://www.studyinfinland.fi/tuition_and_scholarships" Tuition and scholarships') Eligibility criteria To be eligible, the applicant must: have established contact with the Finnish receiving institution before applying (see section  HYPERLINK "http://www.studyinfinland.fi/how_to_apply/admissions/doctoral_admissions" 'Doctoral Admissions') have a letter of invitation from the academic supervisor in Finland; the invitation should also explain the commitment of the host institution to the project have earned a Masters-level degree before applying intend to pursue post-Master's level studies as a visiting student, participate in a research project or teach at a university or public research institute in Finland; priority will be given to doctoral studies not have spent already more than one year at a Finnish higher education institution immediately before the intended scholarship period in Finland be able to give proof of sufficient skills in speaking and writing the language needed in study/research* be a national of one of the eligible countries listed above *) this means that the application must include some proof of the applicant's language skills - CIMO does not require you to take an IELTS or TOEFL test, but if you have such official proof of your English skills that can of course be enclosed in the application. Usually however it is enough if, for example, the letter of invitation from the hosting Finnish university states that your language skills have been deemed sufficient by the Finnish university. What does the scholarship cover? The scholarship includes: a monthly allowance of EUR 1500. The allowance is sufficient for one person only. Expenses due to travel, international or in Finland, are not covered by CIMO. Scholarship recipients are recommended to make arrangements for sufficient insurance coverage for their stay in Finland. Please see the section  HYPERLINK "http://www.studyinfinland.fi/living_in_finland/before_your_arrival" 'Before your arrival' for information on the practicalities of coming to Finland as an international student/researcher. Scholarship period The Finnish Government Scholarship Pool programme can be applied for a study/research period of 3-9 months, 9 months being the maximum time for an individual applicant. You may wish to keep in mind that the Finnish academic year starts in late August/early September and ends in late May (check the exact dates with the Finnish university you're interested in). However, in your application you may also specify your scholarship period to start later than September - as long as your scholarship period begins within the academic year that you've applied the scholarship for. This scholarship programme can not be applied to cover a whole Doctoral degree programme - if you are granted this scholarship, after the initial CIMO scholarship period you will need to look  HYPERLINK "http://www.studyinfinland.fi/tuition_and_scholarships" for other sources of funding for the remainder of your studies/research in Finland. How and when to apply Applications for the Finnish Government Scholarship Pool funding should be made to the appropriate authority in the applicant's country. The scholarship authorities in each country are invited to present applications for up to 10 candidates for the Finnish Government Scholarship Pool. For information on the appropriate authority in your country, please see the listing of  HYPERLINK "http://www.studyinfinland.fi/tuition_and_scholarships/cimo_scholarships/finnish_government_scholarship_pool/countries_and_authorities" countries and authorities to contact. The announcements for the opening of the annual application round are usually sent out from CIMO at the end of September annually. The applicants may then contact the scholarship authorities in their home country for information on the national deadline for submitting the application documents. The annual deadline set by CIMO for the nomination of scholarship candidates by the national authorities is in mid-February (2016: 15 February) NB: You should check the application deadline set by the authorities in your country since it may be earlier. Scholarship decisions announced by June annually CIMO will inform both successful and unsuccessful candidates of the results by June annually. If you are among the scholarship candidates selected by the appropriate contact authorities in your home country (in other words, if your scholarship application has been forwarded to CIMO) but you have not for some reason received a decision letter from CIMO by mid-June, please  HYPERLINK "http://www.studyinfinland.fi/destination_finland/cimo_at_your_service/contact" contact us.
