Application for refugees over the age of 21 years

This applies to those who will turn 21 years of age or more during the calendar year in which the academic year commences.

Use the regular application form

You will use the same application form as students in university and university college education. In other words, there is not a specific application form for loans and grants for primary and secondary education.

This application form must also be used to apply for refugee grants.

Documentation if you are a refugee

Are you receiving introduction benefit during the period for which you are applying for support?

If yes, you must submit a copy of the decision from the local authority or the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV) showing the period during which you will receive introduction benefit

Have you completed an introduction programme?

If yes, you must submit confirmation from the local authority or the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV) showing the date on which you completed the introduction programme.
