Application for support for individual courses outside of the Nordic region

This is what you are applying for

In the application, you apply for basic support, travel support and any additional loans for tuition fees. You can choose to apply for grants only and would receive only the grant element of the tuition fee and travel support, as well as the part of the basic support that can be converted to a grant

The application also applies to other support that only certain groups are entitled to. This includes child grants, additional loans, language grants, refugee grants and grants for facilitated engineering and economics programmes of education in France and Germany.

There are separate applications for parental grants and additional grants due to disability.

Documentation

You will need to submit documentation after submitting your application for support. You need to submit a final letter of admission from the educational institution showing which subjects you will be studying together with your application. The number of credits/ECTS per subject and the level at which the subjects are taught must also be shown in the letter of admission.

In countries where each study programme has to be approved (for example France and Spain), the documentation must also show the degree courses from which the subjects you will be studying have been taken.

You must also submit documentation showing how much you will pay in tuition fees and that you have achieved general study competence in Norway.

You can upload documentation via Dine sider at lanekassen.no or send the documentation by regular post.
