Norway cuts folk high school scholarship conversion from 40% to 15%

The Norwegian government proposes reducing the share of student loans convertible to scholarships for folk high school students from 40% to 15% starting autumn 2027, aligning with non-degree university programs. Total study support and loan fund allocations rise by 2.5 billion NOK, offsetting the cut. This signals a policy shift in education funding, potentially affecting enrollment in folk high schools.
