BI Presidential Master's Scholarship in Norway 2027 (Fully Funded)

The BI Presidential Scholarship in Norway accepts applications annually for the upcoming academic year. The Norwegian Business School provides a fellowship for international students pursuing a master’s program at one of the top European universities.

With the top staff and teachers, Norwegian Business School has been ranked #4 among Scandinavian business schools. The European foreign scholarships are specifically designed for students who excel academically, pursue academic excellence in their disciplines, and acquire cutting-edge knowledge and skills. The university welcomes international and Norwegian students, who will later transform the institution into a superb hub for diversity and training. Students’ passion for studying in Europe will ensure that they receive the best education possible and will serve as mentors as they pursue their areas of specialization.

The master’s scholarship will help students flourish in the modern world, and they shouldn’t forget that there has been an increase in employment for Norwegian Business School graduates globally. Ten scholarships will be given to Norwegian students, while twenty scholarships will be available to students from other countries. Tuition for the master’s program at the institution will be fully financed for two years. International students can benefit from the BI Presidential Master’s Scholarship by receiving a stipend to help cover their living expenses while pursuing their studies in Norway.
