Does Umeå University offer other types of financial support?
Umeå University offers scholarships to talented and high-achieving students. Most scholarships are offered in the form of tuition-waivers and selected candidates receive a full or partial waiver of the tuition fee. Umeå University does not offer any other forms of financial support. We recommend that you look for external funding if needed.
When can I apply for a scholarship?
If you are eligible, you will receive a personal invitation via email at the beginning of February.
What does the scholarship cover?
In general, the scholarship covers full or part of the tuition fee. Further information about the different scholarships offered via Umeå University can be found on the Scholarships page.
I have received a scholarship from Umeå University. Can I defer my scholarship?
Unfortunately, our scholarships cannot be deferred. If you choose not to proceed with your studies this upcoming semester, we ask that you email tuitionfees@umu.se to confirm withdrawal from the scholarship. This will allow for other applicants to receive the scholarship instead.
Should you choose to attend Umeå University in the future, you are welcome to apply for our scholarships again.
Who do I contact with questions about scholarships?
If your question is not answered on this website you can contact Infocenter, or see us at our webinars and fairs. See our page ”Meet Umeå University” for dates.
