About this scholarship
The BI Presidential Scholarship is awarded to applicants with superior academic records admitted to a master's programme at BI Norwegian Business School in Oslo, Bergen or Trondheim. Norwegian and international residents of Norway and Sivøk applicants receive full tuition fees each semester for up to two years; international applicants receive full tuition fees for up to two years plus a living-expense stipend of NOK 50,000 per semester, in both cases if progression requirements are met. Only candidates seeking their first graduate/master's degree are considered, and only one scholarship per applicant is awarded.

Minimum requirements
Superior academic record; admission to a master's programme at BI in Oslo, Bergen or Trondheim; seeking a first graduate/master's degree. Secondary-sourced detail (confirm on the official page): minimum overall A on the ECTS scale or equivalent; BI–Luiss Joint Master in Marketing excluded; first-year full-time MSc only.
Application checklist
- Confirm admission to a master's programme at BI in Oslo, Bergen or Trondheim, with a superior academic record
- Confirm you are seeking your first graduate/master's degree (only first-degree candidates are considered for full-time master scholarships)
- Check whether you qualify for Lånekassen tuition reduction or a student loan (for example, a 180 ECTS bachelor's from a Norwegian institution) — such candidates are treated as domestic for scholarship purposes
- Apply via the BI portal when it opens on 1 November 2026 and before 1 March 2027
- Note the BI–Luiss Joint Master in Marketing is excluded (secondary-sourced — confirm on the official page)
Application tips
- The award is tied to one programme and campus and cannot transfer — choose the programme and campus deliberately before accepting.
- Progression requirements gate the second year: the scholarship is not unconditional for the full two years.
- International candidates with Norwegian-institution bachelor's degrees may be treated as domestic — check the Lånekassen rule, since it changes the stipend question.
- Do not state an award count: secondary sources conflict (20 vs 25 international awards), so this record carries no count.
Always verify deadline, amount and eligibility on the official page before applying. Values marked ESTIMATE are based on a previous cycle and are not confirmed for the current round.
