Scholarships to exchange students

The Norwegian government offers no individual scholarships to exchange students. There are, however, a few other foundations or schemes that offer scholarships for exchange students.

The Erasmus+ Grant 

The Erasmus+ grant is available to students from the EU and North Macedonia, Serbia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Turkey. You may receive an Erasmus+ grant as a contribution to your travel and subsistence costs. This may vary according to differences in living costs between your country and the destination country, the number of students applying for a grant, the distance between countries and the availability of other grants.  

You can apply through the international or Erasmus+ office of your higher education institution. 

Nordplus Higher Education Grant 

If your home institution participates in a Nordplus higher education programme, you may be eligible for a grant. Note that you cannot apply for a grant directly from the Nordplus administration, please contact the international office of your higher education institution. 

Mobility Grant for Norwegian Language, Literature and Culture 

Grant opportunity for master and PhD students in Norwegian language, literature, and culture.
