About Kjøpmann Bertel O. Steens Legat

Kjøpmann Bertel O. Steens Legat is a place-based scholarship fund that supports young people from the Larvik district who are pursuing higher education, especially in technical, economic/commerce, and legal fields. Its core activity is an annual student stipend program, with awards distributed to multiple applicants rather than a single large grant. The fund also has a notable historical legacy of supporting exploration, including financing polar expeditions associated with Fridtjof Nansen and Roald Amundsen.
