ISS offers a number of scholarships and grants. This is part of the University of Oslo’s goal to demonstrate academic solidarity and ensure that our summer school represents global diversity. The International Summer School at the University of Oslo (UiO) has a long history of granting scholarships to students from all over the world to attend our academic summer program.
The International Summer School (ISS) has since its establishment in 1947 facilitated scholarships, stipends and grants to students worldwide to attend the summer courses. Funding may be provided from public and private sources, as well as from The University of Oslo itself.
