Danish higher education institutions
receive a limited number of government scholarships each year to fund highly
qualified full-degree students from non-EU/EEA countries and Switzerland.
In order to be eligible for a
scholarship you must be:
- A citizen of a country outside the EU, the European Economic Area or Switzerland
- Enrolled in a full degree higher education programme
- Granted a time-limited residence permit in Denmark due to education
You are not eligible for a
Danish government scholarship if you are:
- Seeking admission to a university level institution of arts, design and architecture
- Have a legal claim to the rights of Danish citizens
- Have been granted a residence permit at the time of admission by the Danish Aliens Consolidations Act §9c, subsection 1, as the child of a foreign citizen who has been granted a residence permit in accordance with the Danish Aliens Consolidations Act §9a, and who is a citizen of a country that is not acceded to the EU or covered by the EEA agreement
- A student who is eligible for a grant in accordance with Danish Law regarding the State Education Fund
The scholarships are administered by
the Danish institutions of higher education, each of which decides which
students will receive a scholarship. For further information about the
government scholarship, please consult the admission details of the higher education institution of your choice.
Please note: The government scholarship consists of two parts and can be
given as full or partial tuition fee waivers and/or grants towards covering
your living costs. However, since the scholarships are administered by the
individual higher education institution you should enquire at the institution
of your choice for further details.
