The Quota Scheme
The Norwegian Quota Scheme is a funding scheme offered by the Norwegian Government to students from developing countries in the South and countries in the Western Balkans, Eastern Europe and in Central Asia. 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 home.
Quota funding covers basic living expences for one person during the study period. The funding is given as part loan/part grant by the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund. After completing the programme and returning to the student’s home country, the loan part is converted to a scholarship. If residence is taken in Norway, the loan part must be repaid.
Quota applicants may apply for selected programmes.
The application deadline passed 1 December. The 2013 Quota application is now closed. |
