Earlier the U.S. Department of State (ECA) did not allow U.S. Fulbright students to renew their Fulbright status for the second year of their Master카지노 웹사이트™s studies in Finland. On August 25, 2022, however, ECA and IIE confirmed that beginning academic year 2022-23 grantees can apply for a renewal in accordance with the following guidelines:
Prerequisites for the Fulbright status renewal
- The grantee continues studies in Finland in the same master카지노 웹사이트™s program as in the first year.
- The grantee has been successful in their first year of studies, and the tuition award provided by the host institution continues to be available for the grantee카지노 웹사이트™s second year of studies in line with the Foundation카지노 웹사이트™s agreement with the host university.
- The grantee studies in Finland during the second year, i.e., cannot be doing an exchange period abroad, such as Erasmus, on a Fulbright status.
- The grantee has worked out a sufficient and realistic funding plan for the second year of studies. A monthly maintenance allowance is not provided by the Fulbright Finland Foundation for the second year. (In some cases, the host institution/sponsor may be providing maintenance. If so, the grantee should include documentation of that in the funding plan.)
- If the grantee카지노 웹사이트™s residence permit is not valid for their second year of studies, they are responsible for securing it themselves.

If your status is renewed for the completion of your degree, your official Fulbright term will be renewed for the second year of your degree program, and you receive a renewal document to your Fulbright Finland Foundation Grant Authorization.
