Tuition-Free & Scholarships for Undergraduate & Postgraduate Studies in Norway

The Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund

The Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund ("Lånekassen") is primarily directed towards Norwegian citizens. However, some foreign citizens may be eligible for support. If you are a foreign citizen, your right to financial support from the Loan Fund depends on your connection to Norway, which country you come from and on what grounds you have a residence permit.

Support from the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund consists of a loan and a grant that will cover the costs of studying in Norway. You will only have to repay the loan. If you have children with a residence permit who live together with you in Norway, you may be eligible for further support. If you work while you are a student, the support may be reduced.

You need admission to a Norwegian educational institution in order to apply for financial support and you need a residence permit before any support is paid out.

To learn more about the Loan Fund and find out if you are eligible, please see the website of the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund.
