FREE EDUCATION IN ICELAND
Iceland is another country that operates tuition free education apart from Germany NORWAY and Austria. students have to pay a non-refundable application fee of 350euros depending on one choice of college.
Note: (Application fee is extremely huge)
There are seven universities in Iceland, of which three are private and four public. The largest are the University of Iceland and Reykjavík University, both in the capital city followed by the University of Akureyri in the northern city of Akureyri. International students make up around 5% of all students in Iceland, and universities in Iceland are generally keen to attract more international and exchange students. Many, especially the larger universities, offer a growing number of courses taught fully or partially in English, and there are good support systems in place for foreign students choosing to study in ICELAND
PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS IN ICELAND ARE
1) University of Iceland
2) University of Akureyri
3) Bifrost university
4) Agricultural university of ICELAND

Studying in Iceland is much cheaper than other countries in that tier mainly because the public universities here are completely free from tuition fees. Still, the living costs alone can be expensive. To overcome all expenditures, here are some ways you can study in Iceland for free.

How to Study in Iceland for Free
1. Have an excellent application
Your previous grades are the first thing authorities will notice, which takes a big part for them to judge you. Having better grades than average can make it easier to admit to universities and get scholarships or grants for further privileges. You must have a good result and a clear understanding of your study topics by when you’re going to apply

2. Receive Scholarships from Universities in Iceland
Although Iceland’s public universities are free to study, the private ones cost a good amount. Also living costs there can be difficult to bear. To completely cover all your expenses and study truly without paying, scholarships are your best bet.

As there are very few universities in Iceland, scholarships can be scarce to come by. Still, many scholarship opportunities come and go over the years. Keeping an update on these scholarships will help you prepare yourself for applying, and earn money instead of spending.

Study Undergraduate, Master’s and PhD in Iceland for Free
To study for free, scholarships can help you achieve it. Unfortunately, due to a low number of universities, scholarships are scarce to come by. The University of Iceland is considered the best in the country, and it offers regular scholarships as well. These scholarships are mostly for Ph.D. studies, but some can be found for undergraduate or master’s as well depending on the period of the year.

There are more than 10 types of grants and scholarships offered here including doctoral grants, travel and research, equipment fund, and recruitment funds. Values can range up to 870,000 EUR within the Grant of Excellence, which is the highest form of grant given. Ph.D. students can be benefitted from up to 325,000 EUR grant for projects, These are very generous amounts to pursue, which can easily cover expenses

Note (Application deadlines vary from school to school, but you’ll generally need to apply in the December or January before you want to start)

Thanks for the post.
Are you currently in Iceland? Are there jobs for students?
Re: Studying In Iceland 2021(a New Trend) by Spider20: 3:39pm On Jul 22, 2021
There are lot of jobs in Iceland for skilled or un-skilled personnel.
Iceland is looking for migrants to fill into their labour market, lots of menial jobs with great pay are of high demand.
Icelandic citizens are extremely rich, they find it abusive or weird to emigrate.
95% of Icelandic can boast of acquiring Tesla electric vehicles (EV) which are extremely expensive.
EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE and other amenities are provided freely by the Icelandic government.
58,000 dollars that's the country average GDP per capita.
They pay hugely just as their fellow Scandinavian countries
Low employment rate, low crime rate and Gender equality are factors that attracts foreign investors in Iceland.
Iceland is worth migrating to.

Their winters are surprisingly not terrible, and the most unpleasant days apparently last all of one month. I thought it would be bad like Finland. It's not that much worse than Canada or the UK.

However, their low population, low number of universities, lack of infrastructure typical in Nordic countries, and lack of diversity are all concerning. If you can get free grad school, maybe it's worth it. But you're probably competing with a ton of people for like four slots.
Re: Studying In Iceland 2021(a New Trend) by Spider20: 12:03pm On Jul 23, 2021
Wrong point.
Scandinavian countries can boast of the best and quality infrastructure, Sweden,Denmark Norway and ICELAND all ranked as countries with great infrastructure.
