Overview
The Finnish Cultural Foundation’s October 2026 round offers working and expenditure grants for scientific and artistic work, projects and acquisitions.
Complete grant details
Applications are scheduled for 15–30 October 2026. Applicants may request a working grant, an expenditure grant, or both. Working grants support full-time scientific or artistic work for up to four years, or part-time work for up to one year. The official page does not state one universal grant amount, so no award value is inferred.
Eligibility requirements
Individuals, working groups and registered organizations from all fields of science and the arts are eligible. The Foundation generally funds Finnish nationals, people or organizations residing and working in Finland, and other applicants whose work has a strong connection to Finland or Finnish culture.
Tips for this grant
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
