Fellowship programme for Studies in the High North
This programme offers scholarships to students from the US, Canada and Russia who attend an institution in northern Norway as part of their higher education.
The programme is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The goal of the Fellowship Programme for Studies in the High North is to contribute to increased academic collaboration and student mobility in the High North.
Who may apply?
The programme is open to seven institutions in northern Norway only: Bodø University College, Harstad University College, Narvik University College, Finnmark University College, Sami University College, University of Tromsø and The University Centre at Svalbard (UNIS).
These seven institutions will invite students at partner institutions in the US, Canada and Russia to apply for High North Fellowships.
The programme is mainly targeted at students at Master’s and Bachelor’s level but is also open to PhD students. Bachelor’s and Master’s students must take for-credit courses in Norway, while PhD students can come as research fellows.
How to apply?
SIU does not process individual applications. Applications are accepted from the seven eligible institutions in northern Norway only.
Eligible students may apply for High North scholarships through the individual Norwegian institutions participating in the programme.
