Exchange scholarships managed by NTNU

Many participants in exchange schemes will receive one of the grants that NTNU manages: NTNU or Erasmus scholarships.

• You do not need to apply for these scholarships; you will automatically be considered after you have submitted an application for exchange through Søknadsweb
• Students planning professional practice/internship abroad must have applied within the deadline to be considered for scholarships
• The scholarship is in addition to funding from the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund (Lånekassen)

Funding from Norway’s Loan Fund (Lånekassen)

The Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund (Lånekassen) has good support schemes for funding of exchange visits, sometimes also for foreign students:

• As well as basic support, you can get funding for travel, tuition fees and language courses
• The Loan Fund can provide a preliminary statement that you will receive financial support, which you may need when you apply for a visa. This applies especially to the United States and Canada
• You must have received advance approval and have been accepted by the host institution before you can apply to the Loan Fund. Your exchange coordinator will inform you when you can apply to the Loan Fund
