Awarded grants and scholarships
The University of Helsinki Funds consist of more than 150 designated funds, dating from as far back as the 18th century, which are based on donations and legacies from organisations and private individuals or which were launched as special tributes. Grants and scholarships based on these donations are used to advance research, education and students' work at the university.
