Financial support

Norwegian students
Students who have been admitted to the University of Agder as regular students can apply for a loan and scholarship from the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund. See www.lanekassen.no for more details. 40% of the total amount is a scholarship, and 60% is a loan. In addition, students who study abroad receive a travel scholarship. If students are required to pay tuition fees, parts of the fee is granted as a scholarship depending on level of the degree (Bachelor' degree or Master's degree). The University of Agder does not charge tuition fees.
Students can apply for their loan and scholarship on the Internet, as well as check the processing of the application and the final result.

Foreign exchange students
Incoming exchange students are not eligible for the above-mentioned loan and scholarship, and the University of Agder does not award scholarships. Exchange students from EU/EEA-countries may apply for scholarships through the Erasmus or Nordplus programmes in their home countries if their home university is a partner of the University of Agder.

The University also participates in the Quota Programme, which is a national scholarship programme for degree-seeking students from Central and Eastern Europe and developing countries. Most exchange students follow the tradition of bringing their lunch with them to campus and the majority of students prepare their own dinners at home. The student accommodation is self-catering, and meal plans are not offered.
