Applicants from the United States and Canada have access to a broad variety of scholarships. Many organizations allocate money specifically for students participating in study abroad programs in Scandinavia, with many reserving funds for students attending the ISS. Below we have compiled four lists of common scholarships available to applicants, but we encourage you to consult your home university study abroad office and your local organizations to find out what other scholarship opportunities may be available to you.
Notes Regarding Scholarships
Any scholarships marked with a star (*) have not yet been updated for the 2026 application cycle. Further details will follow soon.
Please note that scholarships provided through the International Summer School do not cover study abroad fees through home institutions.
When selecting your application in our application portal, please refrain from selecting the “Scholarship/Stipend” option, as this program does award scholarships to North American-based students. Instead, you should select “International Summer School” for BA/MA courses, or “Norwegian for Academics” for Norwegian language courses.
