The Norwegian government provides scholarships for students from South, Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia under the Quota Scheme. The program is designed to finance the education of students from developing nations who will go to Norway to learn skills that will benefit their respective nations upon their return. Money provided by the Quota Scheme is meted such that 30 percent is considered a grant and 70 percent a loan. However, students return to their home nations, loans are waived. This is done to encourage students to return home with the knowledge acquired through education in Norway.
