I'm an international student interested in studying in Norway. Are there universities in Norway providing scholarships to support international students? Would love to hear about any specific opportunities or experiences.
Sure, some Norwegian universities do indeed offer scholarships specifically dedicated to international students. The availability of scholarships can vary by universities and programs, and international students, both from within and outside of the EU, can apply.
One such program is the University of Oslo's International Summer School (ISS) program which provides several scholarships for international study. These scholarships cover partial to full student fees, which is quite helpful.
You can also find the Quota Scholarship scheme at some institutions, which is intended for students from developing countries in Africa, Central and East Europe, and Asia.
It is recommended to check the scholarship pages on the websites of the universities you are interested in, as they usually provide up-to-date information on the funding opportunities available.
Remember that while studying in Norway can be quite affordable compared to many countries, living costs are high. The scholarships may or may not cover your expenses completely, so it's important to plan for that situation and have other means of support readily available. Make sure to apply to scholarships early, meet all requirements, and put time and effort into your application.
