Hanken School of Economics Bachelor's Scholarship

Hanken School of Economics is one of the Nordic region's leading business schools and one of the few worldwide to hold the 'triple crown' of AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS accreditations. Its English-taught Bachelor's in Business (BSc) offers tuition-fee scholarships of 50% to 100% to talented international students, including those from Sri Lanka. For Sri Lankan A/L students aiming at a globally accredited business degree, a Hanken scholarship can substantially or fully cover tuition, and Finland's low-cost, high-quality study environment keeps living costs manageable. Scholarships are awarded on academic merit as part of the admission decision, so a single strong application is assessed for both a place and funding.

Annual cycle — Bachelor's admission round typically runs in winter (January application window) for the August intake

How you are considered

Through your admission application. Awards like this are usually assessed automatically from the application you already submit — there is typically no separate scholarship form to fill in.

What it covers

50%-100% Tuition Waiver (Bachelor's in Business). This is a reduction in tuition, not a full ride. You still fund the remainder, plus living costs and the balance your visa requires you to show.

Where we come in

We make the admission application strong enough to be competitive — course choice, documents, references and deadlines. The funder makes the decision.

Then start here instead. Scholarships are competitive, usually partial, and decided by someone else — they are the least reliable way to make studying abroad affordable. Your destination and course choice move the number far more, and both are entirely within your control.
