International relations office Check with the International Office at your university whether the university has funds for your trip. Please consult them for the procedure to follow. Mostly, they will send you a form, and require you to provide a budget. Note that you may have to apply for funds well before the event. In most countries, private foundations exist that might be willing to fund your trip.
Some companies have student awards, travel money etc.
You can ask them to sponsor your trip as well. Some embassies, that is, the embassy of the country you are going to may have programs to fund visits. For participants coming from Nordic and Baltic countries and Northwest Russia, try NorFA Grants. The following links contain lists of Finnish Embassies and missions abroad. Contact these directly to ask for specific grants.
