The International Ibsen Scholarships were initiated in 2007 by the Norwegian government. In total, scholarship funds amount to 1,000,000 NOK (approx. 125.000 Euro/150.000 US Dollars) in 2009, and will be awarded to Ibsen-related projects worldwide.
* The international scholarships for Ibsen-related projects were established by the Norwegian parliament in relation to the central government budget for the fiscal year of 2007.
* Scholarships are awarded to individuals, organizations or institutions within the artistic and cultural community. The scholarships are meant to act as incentives for critical discourse in regards to existential and society-related subject matters concerning Henrik Ibsen.
* In cooperation with the Skien municipality, the Ministry of Culture and Church Affairs appoints a review panel responsible for awarding the scholarships. The review panel is to consist of three members, namely one female, one male and one person with non-Norwegian citizenship. Any member of the review panel must be fully competent and qualified within the cultural and artistic fields of study. Members are appointed for three years, with the possibility of another three year extension to the tenure.
* Administrative support functions for the review panel and the scholarships is the responsibility of the Skien municipality.
* Presentation of the scholarships is an integral part of the Skien International Ibsen Conference, the latter being an annual event in relation to the presentation of the International Ibsen Award.
* Scholarships are awarded based on a written application, which should arrive no later than the predetermined deadline, and which must abide by the rules set for the application procedure.
* The scholarships are accounted for by the Skien municipality, in line with generally accepted accounting principles and subject to instructions from the Ministry of Culture and Church Affairs.
