CSN, short for Centrala studiestödsnämnden, is a Swedish government agency that administers financial aid for studies, providing both grants and loans to students in Sweden and abroad, and also handling loan repayment. It administers home equipment loans for non-citizens, primarily refugees, to support their entry into Sweden. The organization distributes about 23 billion Swedish kronor each year to roughly 900,000 students, reflecting its broad role in financing higher education. CSN operates within the government administration sector and is based in Sundsvall, Västernorrland. It prioritizes accessible service through electronic channels, enabling applications for aid, tracking disbursements, and calculating repayment, with an emphasis on timely, clear responses to borrowers. A recent development is a strategic IT framework partnership with Sigma Technology Group announced in October 2024.
