Lånekassen (Loan Fund)
This is how you apply
Once you have obtained a total of 180 credits in any education in Norway, you can apply for scholarships and loans here.
There are other ways you can qualify for support from Lånekassen, you can read about them here.
To be entitled to loans and grants you must have a valid student status. Valid student status means that you:
- are an active student at HLT
- have paid all your student fees
The Student loan fund must have received confirmation of valid student status from HLT before the student can get a pay-out.
Here you will find frequently asked questions about the application.
The conversion of loans into grants
HLT sends exam date to the loan fund consecutively. On the basis of this information the student loan fund decides on the following: decision:
- conversion of loans into grants
- reversal of grants to loans
- refuse payment of student loans because of the delay in study
You must contact HLT as quickly as possible if you think something has been reported wrongly.
Here you will find more information about converting loans into grants.
Delay, interruptions and other changes
You are obliged to notify the Loan Fund if you:
- interrupt or take a break in education
- change educational institution or change study program
- pay less in tuition than that specified in the application
