Scholarship procedures
The scholarship is a research scholarship, awarded based on a successful thesis proposal, and does not depend on completing the master's thesis.
The scholarship can be used to cover living expenses and is considered taxable income for recipients. No documentation of costs is required to receive the scholarship. The scholarship will be paid in a single installment, with the awarded amount of 10,000 NOK after tax.
Please note that the research scholarship is taxable. A valid tax card is a requirement for receiving the scholarship, and it is the recipient's responsibility to ensure they have one. All recipients will receive 10,000 NOK, irrespective of their tax rate (provided the recipient holds a valid tax card). For example, with a tax rate of 32%, the scholarship will be listed as a taxable income of 14,706 NOK.
All scholarship recipients will be contacted to provide personal and banking information.
If you have any questions, please contact Franziska K?der or Ola Eidet.
