Non-EU/EEA citizens without permanent EU/EEA residence, liable for tuition Fee-paying status You must be liable for tuition fees, which means you're a non-EU/EEA citizen who doesn't hold permanent EU/EEA residence. Students who study free of charge aren't the target of this programme. Admission to an English-taught master's You need to meet the entry requirements for, and be admitted to, an English-taught master's programme at the University of Helsinki. The scholarship is tied to that admission.
