Most students going on exchange will receive one of the grants administered by NTNU: the NTNU or Erasmus+ grant.

• You will automatically be considered for these grants when applying for exchange – you do not need to apply separately.
• If you are going on a practical stay abroad, you must apply for exchange by the relevant deadline to be eligible for funding.
• The grant is awarded in addition to funding from Lånekassen.
