Erasmus+ grants for exchange studies in Norway

The Norwegian government does not offer individual scholarships to exchange students. But a few other schemes exist, and the Erasmus+ grant is one of them.

The Erasmus+ grant is for students from the EU and North Macedonia, Serbia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Turkey. It is a contribution to travel and subsistence costs. The amount can vary. It depends on differences in living costs between your country and Norway, how many students apply, the distance between countries, and whether you have other grants.

You apply through the international or Erasmus+ office at your own higher education institution. The grant is for an exchange period, not for a full degree.

There is also the Nordplus Higher Education Grant. If your home institution takes part in a Nordplus higher education programme, you may be eligible. You cannot apply directly to the Nordplus administration. Contact the international office at your institution instead.

• You must be a student from the EU, North Macedonia, Serbia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Turkey.
• You must be coming to Norway as an exchange student.
• You apply through your home institution's international or Erasmus+ office.

• The grant is a contribution to your travel and subsistence costs.
• The amount may vary according to differences in living costs between your country and the destination country.
• It may also vary with the number of students applying for a grant.
• Distance between countries and the availability of other grants can affect the amount.

Contact the international or Erasmus+ office at your higher education institution. They handle Erasmus+ grant applications. Ask them about the application process and deadlines. Confirm every detail on the official page before you apply.
