LUT University Bachelor's Scholarship for International Students

LUT University (Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology) is a Finnish science university focused on technology and business, with a strong reputation in energy, sustainability, and engineering. It offers tuition scholarships to international Bachelor's students entering its English-taught programmes — tiered from a 30% tuition reduction up to a full 100% waiver, awarded on academic merit. For Sri Lankan A-Level science students this is one of the more accessible and generous undergraduate routes into Finland, a country with an outstanding reputation for education and engineering. A top-tier award can make the tuition essentially free, leaving living costs (and Finland is reasonable by Nordic standards) as the main expense. Finland also offers good post-study options for graduates. We help you target the highest award tier and model the LKR living-cost budget.

Merit-Tiered Award

The scholarship percentage is set by academic merit in the admissions assessment / entrance evaluation. The strongest applicants earn the 100% tuition waiver; others receive 30-50%. Strong grades are the direct lever.

Renewable on Progress

The tuition scholarship continues for subsequent years provided you make satisfactory academic progress (sufficient credits each year). Falling behind can reduce or end the award, so plan to study full-time.

English Proficiency

Programmes are taught in English; you'll need IELTS 6.0-6.5 or equivalent. Sri Lankan applicants from an English-medium schooling background usually qualify via MOI waiver where LUT accepts it, or via a recognised exemption.
