Grants normally begin in August. Projects may start before August if necessary for completion of the proposed research, e.g. ecological samples that have to be collected during the summer.

Shorter project timelines may be acceptable for Ph.D. candidates who want to be in Norway for less than 10 months.

Host interest is a key factor in determining who will be awarded a grant. All applicants are required to have an affiliation in Norway. Affiliations can be with any research, educational or creative group or organization that will facilitate the project. However, all applicants, including artists, are strongly encouraged to seek affiliation with a Norwegian university or college, as this offers benefits in securing housing, student status, and workspace. Grants are for study and/or research at one or at most two locations. They are not sufficient to cover extensive in-country travel, fieldwork, equipment etc.

\n

Letter(s) of affiliation should come from a host or hosts who will advise you on your project for the duration of your stay. If the proposed project entails study and/or research in two locations, a letter of affiliation is required from one host in each place. An evaluation/comment on the feasibility of the proposed project from a Norwegian host or hosts is essential and should be addressed in your letter(s) of affiliation. This is especially important if your plans involve independent research.

\n

Applicants who plan to pursue a degree should not expect admission to the degree program or institution prior to applying for a Fulbright grant and are therefore are not expected to include a letter of admission with their applications. However, a letter of affiliation with an evaluation/comment on the feasibility of the proposed project from the Norwegian host or hosts is still required. These applicants should obtain a letter from a professor who would serve as your academic advisor and address your suitability for the proposed studies and their willingness to work with you.  The letter should discuss the strength of the match between your background and the proposed focus of your studies with what the program has to offer and/or the advisor’s academic specialties. Please note that the letter can be conditional on admission. Students who plan to pursue degrees should apply formally to the Norwegian institution before its deadline.

\n

Applicants who clear the U.S. selection process should be advised that their hosts will be contacted by the Fulbright commission in Norway for additional feedback and a reaffirmation of their commitment to host the grantee. Such reaffirmation is an important factor in the Commission’s selection of applicants; if there is no response from your host(s), you will not be considered for a grant.

\n

Important Note:  All applicants wanting to study or conduct research at UNIS must have an additional affiliation at a mainland Norwegian university.

Information on all Norwegian institutions of higher learning can be found at the website for The Norwegian Agency for Quality Assurance in Education (NOKUT).

Norway is one of the few countries where higher education remains largely tuition-free. With the exception of a nominal enrollment fee, Fulbright students at public universities need only pay for books if they take courses.

Please know that private universities may charge substantial tuition fees. Fulbright does not adjust the stipend to cover the cost of attending a private university.

Issues of feasibility should be thoroughly addressed in the Statement of Grant Purpose and in the letter(s) of affiliation. Examples include language barriers, access to equipment and/or datasets, and cultural sensitivities.

Limited extra support for up to three dependents is provided. Be advised, however, that this sum is not sufficient to meet income requirements for family member residence permits. The grantee and/or his/her family member(s) should therefore be prepared to supplement the Fulbright grant with personal funds or proof of employment during the grant period.

\n

Additional Note: In order for your spouse/partner to satisfy requirements for a Norwegian residence permit on the basis of family reunification, you normally have to be at least 24 years old. If you are younger than this, your spouse may have to apply for a permit on other grounds and document his/her own funding.
