School of Electrical Engineering awards travel grants for ELEC BSc and MSc students for summer courses organized abroad during the summer 2026. Max. four grants will be distributed, and the amount of one grant is EUR 300–500 depending on the expenses of the summer school. The grant is to cover travel expenses and/or tuition fees.
The travel grants are primarily intended for summer schools at ELEC's partner universities but can be awarded for other summer studies on a discretionary basis. Aalto’s general study exchange principles apply to the summer school grants. To be eligible for the grant, you need to have a minimum grade average of 2.0, minimum of 30 completed credits (or attended one full semester if you’ve been selected directly to a Master’s programme), and the summer course credits must be included in your degree at Aalto. If more applicants than available grants, decisions will be based on the academic index. ELEC summer grant is not awarded if you receive other funding from Aalto for the course, e.g. the Erasmus+ short-term mobility grant.
After the summer course, you need to fill in the After short-term mobility -form and hand in a course certificate.

Application:

• Short free format motivation letter (why this course, and how relates to your studies) with the summer course program and estimate of expenses (combined no more than 500 words!)
• Confirmation from the planning officer of your study programme that the credits can be included in your Aalto degree (e.g. agreed via email)
• Acceptance letter/email from the host institution (can be submitted later if not available yet)

Submit the application documents in pdf-format at the latest on 31 May to outgoing-elec@aalto.fi with the subject line “Summer course grant application“. You can submit the application before the place is confirmed. However, the grant will be paid only after you have received the acceptance from the host institution.
