About the student scholarships
ARENA coordinates and participates in several national and international research projects, and we regularly offer student grants within our projects.
Through the student scholarship, ARENA offers student grants of NOK 20,000 as well as supervision for master's students writing their thesis relevant to our field.
The application deadline for 2024 will be announced shortly.
Requirements
Please note that different requirements may apply to each specific grant, but generally:
Having an ARENA researcher as your supervisor is a requirement. In order to ensure that your project overlaps with ARENA’s research interests, you are encouraged to contact the relevant researcher(s) when preparing your project proposal.
As a master's student at ARENA you become part of the academic environment. You are expected to make use of the provided office space and participate in relevant activities at the centre, including ARENA's regular Tuesday seminars.
The grant amounts to NOK 20,000. 10,000 is transferred at the beginning of the period, the final 10,000 is paid upon the MA thesis’ completion.
The aim of the scholarship
By offering student scholarships, ARENA aims to:
- Encourage the production of MA theses contributing to increased research activity within ARENA’s prioritized fields
- Create interest in European Studies among MA students, and thereby strengthening the recruitment to the field
