The University of Oslo in Norway is inviting applications for the International Summer School Scholarships for International Students in 2020.
ISS offers a number of scholarships and grants. This is part of the University of Oslo’s goal to demonstrate academic solidarity and ensure that their summer school represents global diversity. Since their funds are limited, competition for ISS scholarships is very tough. The ISS only offers scholarships for applicants to the International Summer School, not applicants to all year Programmes at the University of Oslo.
Worth of Award

- An Off-Campus scholarship covers all basic fees which include extracurricular activities, health insurance, one-weekend excursion outside Oslo, public transportation (public transportation card within Oslo not applicable to UiO program students), card within Oslo and reading materials.
