Norway is renowned for its breathtaking scenery. The country is home to majestic snow-topped mountains, glaciers and deep coastal fjords.
Thanks to full scholarships in Norway, you could get close to these wonders while earning a good degree.
Given how expensive it is to pay full tuition on top of high living costs, that’s as great a deal as it gets.
The best part? There are not just one but several scholarships available — in public and private institutions — to help you make your study abroad dreams in Norway come true.

BI Presidential Scholarship
Application deadline: March 1
BI Norwegian Business School is the largest business school in Norway and the second largest in the country. The university offers a fully funded master’s scholarship called the BI Presidential Scholarship.
This scholarship is available for application by both domestic and international students who are residents of Norway.
For Norwegian and international applicants who are residents of Norway, the scholarship will cover the full tuition fees for each semester for up to two years.
Meanwhile, international applicants who successfully apply for the scholarship will be entitled to full coverage of tuition fees and a 70% stipend to help students with living expenses.
You can choose to apply for this scholarship simultaneously as you apply to the university. Note that only candidates seeking their first master’s degree are considered for the scholarship.
NORAM Scholarship
Application deadline: April 1 every year
The Norway-America Association (NORAM) offers a scholarship to provide financial support for American students to pursue their first master’s degree in Norway.
The scholarship amounts vary from 10,000 to 40,000 Norwegian kroner (US$903 to US$3,611). The size of the individual grants will depend on the research subject, need, purpose and the intended length of stay in Norway.
To be eligible for this scholarship, you must pursue your studies full-time in Norway, either as an exchange with a minimum length of three months or a full degree; online courses or summer programmes will not be approved.
As this scholarship aims to bolster the friendship ties between the US and Norway, the project or academic field you undertake must mutually benefit both countries, too.
You can apply without being accepted to an institution before the application deadline, but you must submit documentation of admission or an invitation if you are awarded a scholarship.
