The Norwegian Centre for International Cooperation in Higher Education (SIU) offers grants to students at European universities studying Norwegian language and literature who are interested in advancing their academic works or dissertations conducting research in Norway. A monthly grant of 9440 NOK (currently about 1130 euro) will be provided for a maximum of 3 months; an additional grant of 1000 NOK (currently about 120 euro) will be awarded if the fieldwork to be done takes place at one of Norway's three northernmost counties.
Semester grants are primarly awarded to students at European universities with departments for Nordic or Scandinavian studies who have chosen a Norwegian topic for their Bachelor/Master/PhD degrees. The grant may also be awarded to younger Norwegian teachers overseas or candidates wishing to take exams to qualify them to teach Norwegian as a foreign language.
