Scholarship Description: The
objective of the scheme is to promote the internationalisation of
higher education. Currently, the scheme provides full scholarships for a
total of 1 100 students, of which 800 are from developing countries and
300 from Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Each year universities and
university colleges in Norway are allocated a certain number of quota
students. The scheme normally includes courses taught in English at
Master’s and PhD level, in addition to certain professional degrees. The
Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund is responsible for managing the
financial support provided for the Quota students. Each student receives
the same amount of money as a Norwegian student would do in an
equivalent educational programme. About 30 per cent of the amount is
given as a grant and 70 per cent as a loan. However, the loan portion
may be waived when the student returns to his/her home country after
completing the course of study. Students who stay in Norway after
finishing their studies or take up residence in another country than
their home country must repay their loan. Normally, the financial
support given will not exceed a time span of four years for one definite
study plan or a combination of two programmes. Part-time studies are
not supported.
