Lån og tilskudd til studentboliger

Husbanken publishes "Lån og tilskudd til studentboliger" ("Loan and grant for student housing"), a scheme directed at organisations that build and operate student housing in Norway. The page opens by stating the purpose of the scheme:

"Lån og tilskudd til studentboliger skal bidra til å gi studenter ved høyere utdanningsinstitusjoner og fagskoler i Norge et rimelig og forutsigbart boligtilbud, som et supplement til det private boligmarkedet."

("Loan and grant for student housing shall help give students at higher education institutions and vocational colleges in Norway an affordable and predictable housing offer, as a supplement to the private housing market.")

On the loan element specifically, Husbanken states:

"Husbanken kan som hovedregel bare gi lån til prosjekter som allerede har fått innvilget tilskudd til studentboliger."

("As a general rule, Husbanken can only grant loans to projects that have already been awarded a grant for student housing.")

Regarding who may apply, the page says:

"Studentsamskipnader kan søke om tilskudd til sine prosjekter. I spesielle tilfeller kan også studentboligstiftelser søke."

("Student welfare organisations (studentsamskipnader) can apply for grants for their projects. In special cases, student housing foundations (studentboligstiftelser) can also apply.")

On timing, the source describes an annual invitation rather than a fixed published deadline:

"Husbanken sender ut en invitasjon til studentsamskipnadene og studentboligstiftelsene om å søke tilskudd mot slutten av året."

("Husbanken sends out an invitation to the student welfare organisations and student housing foundations to apply for grants towards the end of the year.")

For submission, the page states:

"Alle skjemaer sender digitalt til Husbanken, enten via vår tjeneste for sikker innsending, eller til post@husbanken."

("All forms are sent digitally to Husbanken, either via our service for secure submission, or to post@husbanken.")

No specific application deadline date, minimum or maximum loan amount, funding rate, or total budget is stated on the page for the loan element; the page does not provide a direct application link or a "last updated" date. These fields are therefore omitted.
