Overview

BI Norwegian Business School offers various entrance scholarships to support and recruit top academic students from around the world for their bachelor, master, and executive programs.

Coverage

Scholarships vary by program and specific criteria. They are merit-based and awarded based on academic excellence, not financial need.

Eligibility

Open to international applicants, including Ethiopian students, who are applying for the first year of a degree program. Specific criteria regarding citizenship, educational background, or gender may apply depending on the scholarship.

Requirements

Applicants must meet the academic admission requirements for their chosen program. For scholarship consideration, candidates must submit a scholarship application letter, CV, and other required documentation via the admission portal during the application process.

How to apply

Apply for a scholarship simultaneously with your admission application via the BI admission portal. Select the 'scholarship' tab and upload your combined PDF containing your application letter and supporting documents. For PhD positions, apply via the BI job application portal.

Notes

Most scholarships are entrance-based. You only need to submit one scholarship letter to be considered for all scholarships for which you are eligible, with the exception of the A. Wilhelmsen Foundation Scholarship which requires a specific letter.
