Danish Government Scholarships for Qualified Non-EU/EEA Students

The Danish Government welcomes highly qualified and motivated international students from all over the world to study in Denmark. A number of scholarships are therefore offered each year by the Danish Ministry of Education to fund students from countries outside the European Union/ European Economic Area. The scholarships can be awarded for a full degree programme or for part of a degree programme at undergraduate or postgraduate level. 

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 

Institutions: 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.
