The prerequisite for applying for grants is a Doctoral Training Plan (3 credits) and a study right approved by the University of Oulu Graduate School (UniOGS).

The first grant may be allocated for a fast start after one year from starting the research, and another after approximately one year before completing the doctoral thesis. The Executive Committee of the Foundation will consult the University of Oulu Graduate School (UniOGS) and the faculties when reviewing the applications.
