Application process for scholarship applicants

When to apply for Summer 2026

  • The application portal for scholarship applicants is now closed.
  • The application period for scholarship applicants is January 2 - February 1.

1. Academic requirements

Admission requirements are different for Master's and Bachelor's courses.

Check if you meet the requirements

2. Choose course

  • Scholarship applicants may only apply for one course.
  • It is not possible to get a scholarship for taking a Bachelor's course or a Norwegian language course (NORA-course on level 1,2 or 3).
Go to course descriptions

3. Check if you qualify for a scholarship

Note! You can apply either as self-financed applicant or as a scholarship-applicant, not for both. 

You apply for scholarship and admission at the same time. 

See if you can apply for a scholarship or not

4. Choose accommodation

  • When you apply you must choose if you want ISS student housing or if you want to rent your own housing.
  • The ISS student housing has limited space and we recommend applicants who wish ISS housing to apply early.
  • Admission to the ISS does not automatically grant students the right to ISS accommodation.
