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 best students at Hanken receive an award called Rector's list scholarship and receive a smaller financial supplement. Exchanges contains no financial supplement (aside from the standard travel allowance). However, as it is 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.
Below is a list of those who received an award in May 2024:
