Overview
The Icelandic Ministry of Education, Science and Culture awards annually a number of scholarships for studies in Icelandic for Foreign Students at the University of Iceland, Reykjavik. The scholarship program is administrated by Ami Magnrissonar institute for Icelandic Studies, Sigurdur Nordal Office.
