Erasmus-grant

When you go on exchange via an Erasmus agreement, you receive an Erasmus grant financed by the EU (in addition to loans and grants from Lånekassen or other funding from outside EU). The scholarship is estimated on the number of months you are on exchange, confirmed by the host university by the end of your stay.
