Scholarship for the Future

Apply for the scholarship

Is there an active and inspirational student in your community or faculty who deserves to be seen, heard – and awarded with a scholarship? Could it be you? Let us know!

The application process is open to students majoring in law or business as well as BBA and MBA students enrolled in Finnish universities or universities of applied sciences.

A better and fairer future has always been close to our heart at Castrén & Snellman. During our extensive history, we have provided advice in socially important, ground-breaking cases and created opportunities for growth for promising young influencers.

Last year, we celebrated our 135th anniversary by awarding scholarships to students who had used their voice and given their all for a better future. We wish to continue supporting those who will build our future. The Scholarship for the Future is our way to encourage students who have shown particular social initiative and made a difference in something close to their heart. Those who prioritise community over self and who not only dream but also take action.

Will you author the success stories of the future?

The success stories of the future have always been written by the new generation. This spring, we wish to award two authors of our future with a scholarship of EUR 1,000 each. The application period is from 2 April to 2 May 2024.

Kaarina Harkonmäki, UNESCO youth delegate 2024-2025

The UNESCO youth delegates participate in the UNESCO General Conference as part of the Finnish delegation and in the UNESCO Youth Forum. If possible, they also take part in other UNESCO-related preparations, particularly in the fields of science and research. The UNESCO youth delegates are also invited to the Finnish National Commission for UNESCO as experts. During her term as a delegate, Kaarina aims to focus on the role of peace and education in society. Kaarina studies world politics and is actively involved in the work of the UN Youth of Finland, so themes related to multilateral cooperation and sustainable development are of special interest to her.
