LUT University Master's Scholarship for International Students
LUT University (Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology) offers tuition scholarships to fee-paying international Master's students across its English-taught technology and business programmes — tiered from 30% up to a full 100% tuition waiver, awarded on academic merit. LUT is internationally recognised for research in energy, sustainability, and engineering, and its business school is well regarded, making this a strong fit for Sri Lankan first-class graduates in engineering, energy, data, or business. A top-tier award removes tuition almost entirely, leaving Finland's reasonable living costs as the main expense, and the country offers good post-study work and residence pathways. The scholarship is renewable on satisfactory academic progress. We help you target the highest tier and build a realistic LKR funding plan.
Open for autumn 2027 entry — Master's applications via Studyinfo typically close in January 2027; scholarship decided with admission

info How this award actually works
Who awards it
LUT University — not Lanka Scholar. We are not the awarding body and cannot grant, reserve or guarantee this award.
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
30%-100% Tuition Scholarship. 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.
fact_check Eligibility Criteria
Admission to an English-taught Master's
You must apply to and be admitted to an English-taught Master's at LUT for autumn 2026 entry. Sri Lankan applicants need a relevant Bachelor's degree; a first-class or strong upper-second profile in engineering, technology, or business is competitive.
Merit-Tiered Award
The scholarship percentage is set on academic merit during admissions. The strongest applicants secure a full 100% tuition waiver; others receive 30-50%. Strong grades and relevant background are the levers.
Renewable on Progress
The tuition scholarship continues into the second year provided you earn the required credits in year one. Full-time progress is essential to retain the award.
English Proficiency
Programmes are taught in English; you'll need IELTS 6.5+ or equivalent. Sri Lankan applicants with an English-medium undergraduate degree usually qualify via MOI waiver where LUT accepts it.

Looking for a scholarship because of the cost?
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.
Work out your real number
Tuition, living costs, visa funds and flights for your destination — so you know the gap you are actually trying to close.
