The Danish Government Scholarship is a fully funded scholarship program that aims to attract and support highly qualified and motivated international students from non-EU/EEA countries and Switzerland. The scholarship is offered by the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science in collaboration with selected Danish higher education institutions. The scholarship covers both tuition fees and living expenses for the duration of your study program.
The scholarship is available for full degree programs at the bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD level, as well as for short-term courses or summer schools. You can choose from a variety of academic fields and disciplines, such as engineering, natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, arts, health sciences, and more. You can also find programs that are taught in English or Danish, depending on your preference and proficiency.
The scholarship consists of two parts: a full tuition fee waiver and a grant to assist with living costs. The tuition fee waiver covers the entire cost of your study program, regardless of the amount or duration. The grant amounts to DKK 6090 per month before taxes, which is equivalent to about USD 950 or EUR 800.
