Student exchange: Information on Grants and Financing
Last updated: 9/28/2010 //
A list of resources on financing and grants for U.S. students going to Norway, or Norwegian students going to the United States.
Norwegian institutions have a multitude of publicly funded MBA-programs. Over 200 of these programs are offered in English and at public schools and Universities, so the cost related to studying in Norway is mainly the living cost. As a rule, foreign students should be able to finance their studies through grants and loans from their homelands. Norwegian students get public funding for education through a national loan fund.
· The Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund
Funds all Norwegian citizens with grants and inexpensive loans.
