A small number of Danish government scholarships are provided to Danish universities annually to help pay for highly qualified full-degree students from non-EU/EEA nations and Switzerland. Danish universities administer the scholarships, and they also choose the students who will receive them.
For international students who want to continue their education in Denmark, the Danish government offers a variety of scholarships. These bursaries are intended to help students from outside the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), and Switzerland with their educational costs.
Highly qualified students who have been admitted to a full degree programme at a Danish institution of higher education are eligible to receive the scholarships, which are administered by the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science. The scholarship provides a monthly stipend to help with living expenses in addition to paying for tuition.
You must be a citizen of a nation outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland, have a strong academic record, and adhere to the particular guidelines of the scholarship programme you are applying for in order to be eligible for a Danish Government Scholarship. It is important to carefully read the requirements and guidelines for each programme as the application process and deadlines may differ depending on the scholarship programme.
You can visit the website of the Danish Agency for Science and Higher Education or get in touch with the international office of the Danish institution you’re interested in attending for more details on the Danish Government Scholarship programmes and how to apply.
