Student grants
Grants come from Lånekassen, the state bank for education, and are open to full-time and part-time home students up to the age of 65. There are universal and need-based grants; need-based support includes extra grants for students with children and for students with reduced functional ability. Lånekassen does not give merit-based grants. Grants are paid for 11 months a year.
In 2023/24 the universal grant was EUR 5,311 a year, while need-based grants ranged from EUR 3,889 to EUR 9,191 (most often EUR 9,191). International students generally cannot get Lånekassen grants, although some with special ties to Norway may receive support.
