Erasmus+ scholarship of 700 Euro per month (+ travel scholarship) during the period you are on exchange (Global mobility).
Erasmus+ is the EU's program for education, training, youth and sports, and Norway participates on an equal footing with EU member states.
This scholarship is money that the student gets and shall not be paid back. In addition to this scholarship, all students with Norwegian citizenship will be able to apply for loans and scholarships from Lånekassen.
How does the scholarship work?
We have a limited number of scholarships. The section for internationalization will contact you approx. 2 months before departure so that you can sign the necessary documents and give us your account number.
The number of months you are on an exchange will affect how much scholarship you receive. You must travel on an exchange for a minimum of 3 months (one semester) and can receive a maximum scholarship for 12 months (two semesters).
You will also receive a one-time travel grant of 275 - 1,500 Euro, the rates depend on travel distance:
- South Africa - 1500 Euro
- Lebanon - 530 Euro
- Kyrgyzstan - 820 Euro
- Russia - 275 Euro
You get approx. 70% of the scholarship paid after you arrive at the host-institution, and the remaining amount you get when you are back home in Norway, and the EU-report is delivered.
When you travel on an exchange through Erasmus+, your study stay is approved in advance, as part of your degree. This mean, you do not miss study progression. You also get a language test and a certificate, and you can get a free language course.
Are you traveling with children?
Students who are included in the category "with fewer opportunities" receive an additional scholarship of 250 Euro. In 2022/23, this is defined as students with minor children. If you are traveling on an exchange with children, you must notify the Section for Internationalization well in advance of departure.
