3 Scholarships in Denmark for Foreign Students
1. Danish Government Scholarship
This Scholarship is awarded to applicants who are not citizens of EU/EEA and Switzerland. Danish universities annually receive a limited allocation of government scholarships aimed at supporting highly qualified full-degree students from non-EU/EEA countries and Switzerland.
To qualify for this scholarship, you must meet the following criteria:
– Be a citizen of a country outside the EU, the European Economic Area, or Switzerland.
– Be enrolled in a full-degree higher education program.
– Possess a time-limited residence permit in Denmark obtained for educational purposes.
Typically you do not have to apply separately for the scholarship as your institution of choice gets to choose who benefits from the scholarship.
2. The Danish State Educational Support (SU)
The Danish state educational grant system provides financial support to eligible students pursuing higher education in Denmark. SU is designed to assist students with the costs associated with their studies, including tuition fees and living expenses.
The Danish State Educational Support (SU) is typically intended for Danish residents. However, as an international student, you may be able to benefit from this under certain conditions.
You can apply for “equal status” regarding state educational support and meet all or certain requirements to qualify and benefit from the state grant. The term “equal status” implies that you, as an international student, may seek to receive the same financial support or benefits from the Danish State Educational Support as Danish residents.
There are certain factors or qualifications that, if met, would allow international students to access financial support similar to that provided to Danish residents. These factors could include aspects like residency duration, specific educational programs, or other eligibility criteria set by the Danish educational authorities.
3. Fulbright Denmark Program
The Fulbright Program is a prestigious international exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government. Grants are provided to U.S citizens who are students, scholars, and professionals undertaking academic activities, research, or teaching in various countries, including Denmark.
If you are interested in securing a Fulbright Scholarship to Denmark, you would need to apply for the relevant Fulbright program offered by the U.S. Department of State.
The Fulbright Commission in Denmark facilitates exchanges for both Danish and American citizens. To explore specific opportunities, application procedures, and eligibility criteria, it is recommended to visit the official website of the Fulbright Program or the Fulbright Commission in Denmark.
