The Norway Scholarship is the only official scholarship to the University of Oxford that is awarded in Norway.
The first Norway Scholarship was awarded in 1920. Since then, one Norway Scholar has been selected annually, except for a few periods, such as during the Second World War. The scholarship is highly competitive, and is awarded to a student or recent graduate of Oslo University. Past Norway Scholars include Norwegians such as Nordahl Grieg, P. A. Munch, Harald Sverdrup and Abid Raja. The current scholar is Knut Aukland.
Norway Scholars receive funding for one or two years of study and research at Oxford University, and the scholar always becomes a member of Wadham College.
