Scholarship Description:

The main objective of the Quota Scheme is to contribute to capacity building through education that will benefit the home country of the students when they return. The Quota Scheme is also intended to strengthen relations between Norway and the selected countries and thus contribute to internationalisation at Norwegian institutions of higher education. Most universities and university colleges in Norway participate in the Quota scheme. The institutions involved are allocated a certain number of students under the programme each year. The scheme normally includes courses at Master’s and Ph.D. level in addition to certain professional/Bachelor’s degrees. Most of the Norwegian institutions offer courses and educational programmes in English. Students usually apply for degree programmes that serve as a continuation of their studies in their home country or for courses which can be a joint part of a degree programme in their home country (joint degree or sandwich programmes).

How to Apply: Having clarified that your institution has a collaboration agreement with a Norwegian university or university college, you may contact the International Office at the institution in Norway for further information about admission requirements and procedures. You must apply directly from your home country and to the institution of your choice

Scholarship Application Deadline: The deadline for applications for the Quota Scheme is usually December 1st every year
