U.S. Embassy in Oslo offers journalists grants for reporting tours to the United States
The Office of Press, Education and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Embassy in Oslo is offering one or more grants in the size of 5000 – 30000 NOK (depending on the proposals) to completely or partially fund reporting trips for journalists to the Unites States.
