PRIO Network

Student Scholarships

PRIO offers scholarships for graduate students, mainly at Norwegian universities. In addition to a student stipend of NOK 3,500 per month, the scholarship includes supervision by PRIO's researchers and office space at the Institute's building in Oslo.

 

The scholarship lasts for an agreed period of time, up to one year. If the thesis is finalized within the agreed period, PRIO may offer an extension of the stipend period for up to two months to secure academic publishing of the results, e.g. by writing an article for an international journal.

 

There are usually two deadlines per year for applications for student scholarships:

  • 15 May, for decision by 15 June, and start in July
  • 15 November, for decision by 15 December, and start in January. 

 

The scholarships and procedure for how to apply will be announced on PRIO's front page, and on the Vacancies page, in the month before each deadline (see here for the current announcement).
