Any Norwegian gone to study in Japan who may be able to help me out with a few questions?

Hi,

Sorry if this is a bit too specific, but I'm currently looking to apply for some schools in Japan, and since i'm from Norway, I'm trying to get Lånekassen's(Student funding body in Norway) support. They've told me to send them a request to check if they can support the schools and courses i'm planning on tackling, which I have sent, but they're expecting this to take over 14 weeks.

I've been in touch with Go Go Nihon, who are giving me the options, but the deadline is right around the corner to apply. If anyone here has gone through Lånekassen and either gotten support or been rejected, I'd love to hear your thought and experience around the matter.
