Statens Lånekasse for utdanning is a public agency whose main task is to manage education support for students in Norway. Lånekassen offers financial support in the form of loans and scholarships to pupils and students who wish to study at various levels, both in Norway and abroad. The agency works to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to get an education, regardless of financial background.
Lånekassen is also responsible for information and guidance on education funding, as well as processing applications for support. Through various schemes, the support is adapted to the individual's needs, and emphasis is placed on making the process as simple and clear as possible for the users. The Statens Lånekasse for education thus plays an important role in the Norwegian education system by contributing to more people gaining access to higher education.
