Citizens from some developing countries who undergo education in Norway may be granted financial aid from "Lånekassen" (the State Educational Loan Fund in Norway) through what is known as the "Quota Programme". The aim of the programme is to provide students from these countries relevant knowledge that can benefit their home countries when they return home after completing their studies. These scholarships are worth 8140 Norwegian kroner per month (approximately 975 euros / 1260 US dollars), for the duration of the programme.
For students to be eligible for the Quota Scheme they must come from an educational institution in one of the countries covered by the scheme with which NHH have an exchange agreement. The schools that are currently covered by these arrangements are:
- School of Management - Fudan University, China
- Tsinghua University, China
- Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, China
- China Europe International Business School, China
- Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, India
- Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, India
- Asian Institute of Management, The Philippines
- St.Petersburg State University, Russia
- University of Cape Town, South Africa
- Thammasat University, Thailand
Students admitted into the PhD programme at NHH will receive further information on their eligibility for financial assistance through the Quota Scheme. The scheme is administered by the Norwegian Centre for International Cooperation in Higher Education (SIU). More information is available from SIU and from Lånekassen.
