How to finance your school year?

Some people think that folk high schools are expensive, but it is significantly cheaper to live in a boarding house at a folk high school than to live in a dormitory and pay for your own food. See the calculation example below:

School costs per month (9) (board, lodging, all travel and activities) NOK 18,883.
- Support from the Loan Fund per month (9) (stipend level for 26-27) Kr. 16169,-
You must cover yourself per month Kr. 918,-
