PrintThe Norwegian Marshall Fund was established in 1977 as a gesture of appreciation of the fundamental importance of the Marshall Plan for Norway during the reconstruction of Europe after World War II. The Fund was made possible through contributions from Norwegian individuals and corporations as an expression of gratitude from the Norwegian people to the people of the United States.
The purpose of the Fund is to provide financial support for Americans invited to come to Norway to conduct post-graduate study or research in areas of mutual importance to Norway and the United States, thereby increasing knowledge and understanding and strengthening the ties of friendship between the two countries. From 5 to 15 individual grants in various fields have been awarded each year for nearly 20 years.
Requirements
Citizens of the United States, who have arranged with a Norwegian sponsor or research institution to pursue a research project or program in Norway are encouraged to apply for an award. Under special circumstances, the awards can be extended to Norwegians for study or research in the United States.
Amount
The size of the individual grants depends on the research subject, purpose and the intended length of stay in Norway. In previous years, the grants have varied from NOK 10,000 to 30,000 (ca. USD 1,500 to 4,500).
Application Procedures
Applications must be submitted according to the instructions in the attachment that can be found on the top of this page. Application deadline: March 23.
