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.
