TORSKE KLUBBEN GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP FOR NORWEGIAN CITIZENS
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA

Students must submit a Torske Klubben Fellowship application as well as an application for admission to the Graduate School at the University of Minnesota (UM).  ADMISSION TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IS REQUIRED BEFORE FINAL ACTION CAN BE TAKEN ON A TORSKE KLUBBEN FELLOWSHIP APPLICATION.

Applicants who intend to complete a degree at the UM should follow procedure 1, while those intending to come for one year as International Graduate Scholars should follow procedure 2.

Procedure 1 – For those applying to pursue a degree at UM:

1. Information on the UM admission process is available at website http://www.grad.umn.edu/prospective_students/  Detailed information about specific major programs is also listed.

2. Submit the application for admission electronically.  All materials required by the prospective program AND the Graduate School must be received before final action will be taken on the admission application. [Note:  A $75 application fee for international students is payable by credit card.]

3. Students should be aware that many programs require the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), including the subject test.  If the GRE is required, make arrangements immediately to take the GRE and have scores sent to the Graduate School.  Information on taking the GRE is available at web site http://www.gre.org/.

4. Complete and return the Torske Klubben application, in English, to the Graduate School Fellowship Office, 314 Johnston Hall, 101 Pleasant St. S.E., University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, U.S.A. by March 2, 2009.  Letters of recommendation (also in English) should be mailed directly to the Fellowship Office.  Since the application for admission requires official transcripts, there is no need to send additional transcripts for the fellowship competition.

Procedure 2 – For those applying for study or research as a non-degree International Graduate Scholar:

1. Contact the Graduate School Fellowship Office at gsfellow@umn.edu to request a simplified application for non-degree visiting status.  [Note:  There is also a $75 application fee for this procedure.]
