Name of the Event: Danish Government Scholarship Programme

Place: University of Copenhagen

Last Date of Application: Varies for different programs

Link to Apply:

The University of Copenhagen (UCPH) offers a limited number of tuition waivers and grants through the Danish Government Scholarship programme. The scholarships are competitive and offered to highly talented students with outstanding academic records from non-EU/EEU countries. All non-EU/EEA applicants offered admission will automatically be considered for the scholarship.

The Danish Government Scholarship is granted either as full or partial tuition fee waivers and/or as an amount that covers basic living costs.

Who is eligible?

In order to be eligible for a scholarship, you must be:

• a citizen of a country outside the EU, EEA (the European Economic Area) or Switzerland

• admitted to a master’s degree programme at the University of Copenhagen

• granted a time-limited residence permit for the purpose of studying a higher educational programme in Denmark.

How is the scholarship awarded?

The University awards the scholarships solely on the basis of academic achievement; thus, financial need is not considered.

All non-EU/EEA applicants to the University of Copenhagen’s MA/MSc degree programmes will automatically be considered for the Danish Government Scholarship, provided they are eligible. Therefore, it is not necessary to apply.

UCPH will contact those who get nominated through DANS’ application portal.

If you are offered a scholarship but do not accept it within the deadline specified, the scholarship offer will be revoked, and the scholarship will be offered to another applicant.
