The Norwegian scholarship scheme for students from selected partner countries (including Colombia) aims to foster economic development and welfare in partner countries. By facilitating student mobility to Norwegian universities and colleges, NORSTIP seeks to educate future leaders who will make a positive impact in their home countries.

NORSTIP scholarship students will be exempted from paying tuition fees and will receive a moderate scholarship equivalent to the scholarship that Norwegian students can get every month from the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund’s rates.

It is important to note that the University of Stavanger only offers NORSTIP scholarship to students coming from selected partner institutions. To be eligible for the NORSTIP scholarship, you must meet the following criteria:
