Apply for support from Trade Union JHL’s study fund, we will pay a large part of your open higher education course fees

17.9.2026

A person is sitting at a desk and making notes.

Your trade union JHL has opened a new study fund that awards grants for open higher education studies. The first grants can be applied now.

Did you know that as a member of Trade Union JHL you can get financial support from us when you study at an open university or open UAS?

JHL has opened a new study fund that offers grants for studies. We pay up to 75% of your studies. The maximum amount of financial support for one member is 60 euros per year. If the number of applicants exceeds the annually available funds, we will give priority to those who have not received the grant earlier.

The financial support will be paid by JHL’s study fund that awards study grants based on applications. The fund is managed by Kansan Sivistysrahasto KSR.

The application period of autumn 2026 is now open – apply for financial support for your studies by the end of October 2026. The fund will pay the awarded grants in December 2026.

Apply for JHL’s financial support for your higher education studies (in Finnish)

Financial support was previously applied using JHL’s own form. That form is longer used, and applications sent using the form will not be accepted.

Remember that in addition to study grants, we offer our members a wide range of valuable membership benefits
