S om StudentTorget meldte i september, er det endelig vedtatt at norske studenter kan få studiestøtte til første året av bachelorgraden i USA (Freshman-året). I alle fall ved langt flere universiteter enn tidligere.

Det er nemlig ikke alle som kan forvente å få støtte til første året fra 2014-2015. Årsaken til dette er at freshman-året ikke danner grunnlag for generell godkjenning gjennom NOKUT (Nasjonalt kompetansesenter for utdanning).

Hovedregelen er derfor fortsatt at Lånekassen ikke gir støtte til førsteåret, men de nye reglene åpner for å gi støtte til førsteåret ved læresteder av høy kvalitet.

Dette gjelder bachelorgrader som tas ved universitetene som er rangert på følgende rankinglister:

 

 

Selv om du får studiestøtte fra Lånekassen til det første året, betyr ikke dette at du automatisk får generell godkjenning av dette året, gjennom NOKUT.

Ved generell godkjenning, vurderes den utenlandske utdanningen i forhold til den norske gradsstrukturen. Det vil si, om den tilsvarer for eksempel en bachelorgrad, mastergrad eller ph.d.-grad.

I tillegg til studenter ved læresteder på de nevnte rankinglistene, vil de gamle unntaksreglene fortsatt gjelde.

Unntakene gjelder for:


 

  • Første året av kiropraktorutdanning
  • Utdanninger som er særlig godt tilrettelagt for studenter med redusert funksjonsevne
  • Første året, av fireårig bachelorgrad, ved utdanninger i USA som er med i ordningen med tilleggsstipend.
