-Additional fees (if applicable)
-Pocket money allowance (made available to you upon arrival; excludes recipients from USA and Canada)
-Plane ticket to and from Norway (excludes recipients from USA and Canada)

-For all other recipients: all or part of the Basic fee and Additional fees (both on- and off-campus students)

Applicants can also indicate that they would like to have a portion of the basic fees covered instead of the full sum, if they can pay themselves or are receiving funding from an external source (employer, school, organization, company, etc).
