The Finland Society (Suomi-Seura) will arrange a three-week Summer Seminar for descendants of Finnish emigrants.

"The programme also includes some social programs, sauna evenings, Finnish movies and farewell party.

Participants will receive a certificate and credits. During the weekends, there is no instruction or organised social programme.

WHO?

The seminar is primarily meant for college and university students of Finnish descent. Students should be over 18 and preferably under 30 years of age. A few applicants over 30 will be admitted each year. Knowledge of Finnish is not required. The language of instruction is English. Consequently, a sufficient knowledge of English is necessary.

Deadline: If you also apply for a grant or a travel grant, your application must reach us by April 28, 2006. If after that there is still room, students may be admitted to the Seminar, without grants.

AND HOW MUCH?

The Seminar fee is EUR 920 which covers tuition, accommodation (double triple or quad occupancy), breakfast, lunch, afternoon coffee and supper at the school, study materials and tours during the three-week period."
