Study scholarship application form
In 2025, the city of Äänekoski will distribute student scholarships to 18-29-year-olds studying full-time outside of Äänekoski with degree goals. The amount of the scholarship is 350 euros per year and it is tax-free income for the recipient.
The student scholarship aims to encourage the young people of Äänekoski to acquire an education and a profession. At the same time, the home municipality stipend can help maintain a lively relationship with your home municipality, when, for example, there is more money left over for traveling between your place of study and your home municipality.
To receive a scholarship, the following criteria must be met:
- The applicant is studying somewhere other than Äänekoski
- Studying is a full-time job and leads to a degree
- The student is present (mandatory attachment)
- The student's domicile is Äänekoski on 31.12.2024 December XNUMX
- The applicant is 18-29 years old on 28.2.2025 February XNUMX.
So you can get a scholarship, even if you actually live in the place of study, as long as the municipality registered in the population information system is Äänekoski. In the population data, the municipality of residence in 2025 is determined according to the data of the last day of 2024. Even those students who have already moved elsewhere and changed their place of residence to their place of study are entitled to a scholarship if they change their place of residence to Äänekoski before the turn of the year. The provisions of the Study Grants Act and Regulation apply to the definition of full-time employment.
