FFUK – Support schemes

FFUK supports Norwegian performing artists, including musicians, through several separate grant schemes covering travel, further education, concerts, and courses; this listing covers that overall family of support rather than one single scheme. The best-documented of them, the travel and further-education grant, funds longer periods abroad spent on courses, formal study, or private lessons within your performing discipline, with online-based courses and workshops also qualifying since 2021, and a maximum award of 25,000 Norwegian kroner. It's open to individual performing artists working as private professionals, including dancers, musicians, and theatre practitioners. Applicants apply directly to FFUK with a description of the project or study plan and supporting documentation; the published material doesn't spell out a formal scoring rubric beyond fit with the scheme's purpose of supporting professional development. Some of FFUK's schemes are processed on a rolling basis rather than against a fixed date, while others run to set rounds across the year. The next published deadline across FFUK's schemes is November 3, 2026 at 1:00 PM. Because the individual schemes differ in what exactly they fund and how much they pay, anyone applying should check the specific scheme's own page on ffuk.no before submitting.
