Scholarships and Honorary Awards

As a gesture of gratitude towards Hanken’s honorary donors, Hanken has appointed donor awards to the best performing bachelor and master students, as well as the best performing outgoing exchange students from Hanken.

The Rector has decided to award the best students with a scholarship, the Rector's list scholarship at the end of each academic year. The awards for the best performers include a financial supplement.

Every spring and autumn, honorary awards are given to the best performing Bachelor students who go on exchange. The exchange awards do not include any financial supplement (aside from the standard travel allowance). As these honours are awarded only to the best performing students, we wish it to be regarded as an honorary scholarship and our hope is that it can be favourably raised in for example employment processes.
