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.

 

Due to the expensive country we are situated in, the program costs about 170.000 NOK (click here for the Euro equivalent) per student. Rather than asking for school fees of this amount, we request the students’ full attention, their time and talents, and a determination to complete the program.

 

Full time students who complete the school year are supported by the Granheim Foundation with a scholarship of 121.000 NOK, which is 71% of the total costs. (click here for the Euro equivalent).

 

The students are asked to contribute with 49.000 NOK (click here for the Euro equivalent) to the Matteson student fund, which is 29% of the total costs. If personal funds are not sufficient, we recommend applicants to ask their family, home church, friends or others for support. The foundation does not wish lack of money to be a primary reason why potential students are prevented from applying for a valuable education; therefore, if applicants see that they will not be able to raise the full amount, they are asked to indicate this in their application.
