Scholarships for Iranian Nationals in Norway:Norwegian Folk High School

September 30, 2008

Scholarships for Iranian nationals
Would you like to live and study for a year at a Norwegian Folk High School? This year the Norwegian Memorial Fund offers scholarships for young Iranians.The Memorial Fund of 8th May scholarship is established to promote cultural exchange between foreign countries and the Norwegian folk high schools. The Board of the Memorial Fund awards about 25 scholarships a year, to students from a selection of foreign countries. This year Iranian youth are invited to apply.

What is a folk high school?
Folk high schools are one-year boarding schools offering a variety of exciting non-traditional and non-academic subjects, as well as academic subjects. The idea of folk high schools is learning for life, an opportunity to grow both individually, socially, and academically in small learning communities where all students live on campus in close contact with staff and their fellow students. One important part of the folk high school experience is to form a community, a common bond within the student body, in class and out of class. Read more about folk high schools.

What does the grant cover?
Your expenses related to food, lodging and some excursions will be covered by the grant. There are no tuition fees for attending Norwegian Folk High Schools. However, you will need to fund books and teaching materials on your own. You may apply for Additional Financial Aid for pocket money and to help pay for your return ticket.

Who May Apply?
The bursaries are available to applicants from any foreign country. Applicants must be between 18 and 22 years of age and come from a country among those selected for this year’s bursaries. Special consideration will be given to applications which document an active interest in social, humanitarian or cultural activities. Language skills in English and/or Norwegian are also important. Holders of foreign passports who are residents of Norway, or planning to become permanent residents of Norway, are not eligible to apply. No holder of a Norwegian passport may apply.

How to Apply?
The application must be submitted on the official Memorial Fund Application Form. To be successful, it is important that you fill in all the information requested in the form. Incomplete applications will not be taken into consideration. To apply for a grant for the school year 2009-2010 the deadline is 1st November 2008.
