Cost
The Matteson program is to a great extent sponsored by people who recognize its value and donate to the Granheim Foundation, which, in turn, sponsors the students.
Students are asked to contribute 54,000 NOK to the Matteson student fund (click here for the Euro equivalent). This represents approximately 30% of the total cost of the program.
The remaining 126,000 NOK is covered through scholarships provided by the Granheim Foundation for students who complete the academic year.
Rather than focusing primarily on financial cost, we ask students to invest their full attention, time, talents, a desire to seek truth, and a commitment to complete the program.
If personal funds are not sufficient, applicants are encouraged to seek support from family, their home church, friends, or others.
The foundation does not want financial limitations to be the primary reason someone is unable to apply for this educational opportunity. Therefore, applicants who anticipate difficulty raising the required amount are encouraged to indicate this in their application.
Please see our refund policy for further details. Here is our refund policy.
