BI Norwegian Business School offers one of the most prestigious scholarships in Europe for business students — the BI Presidential Scholarship. It is specifically designed to attract highly qualified international students to Norway, including those from developing countries such as Pakistan. The scholarship supports outstanding academic achievers who wish to pursue a Master’s degree in a globally recognized business school.
For Pakistani students, this is a golden opportunity to access world-class education without the burden of high tuition costs. The scholarship fully covers tuition fees for the entire duration of the Master's program. In some exceptional cases, top-ranked international applicants may also receive a generous living stipend, which helps cover accommodation, food, transportation, and other living expenses in Norway — one of the most developed and peaceful countries in the world.
The application process is merit-based, meaning only those with strong academic records, a well-drafted motivational letter, and excellent extracurricular achievements stand a chance. For Pakistani students who have studied commerce, business, economics, or related fields, this is a direct pathway to enhance their qualifications and career prospects globally.
Although the scholarship is highly competitive and limited to business-related disciplines, those who succeed gain not only academic excellence but also access to a strong network of professionals, faculty, and future employers across Europe. Studying at BI also opens doors to internship opportunities and potential post-study work placements, which can be a stepping stone for a successful international career.
