1. Review the Official Study in Denmark Platform

The Study in Denmark scholarships page is a crucial resource that details various national and European scholarship programmes, including government scholarships for international students. These scholarships are administered by individual Danish universities, each of which selects its scholarship recipients. Information on these scholarships, including eligibility, coverage, and application processes, is regularly updated and maintained to ensure accuracy.

Key Points:

• Visit the Scholarship page on the Study in Denmark platform for comprehensive information.
• The page contains links to individual universities’ scholarship offerings and crucial information for prospective students.

2. Check University-Specific Scholarship Offers

Scholars should note that most scholarships are administered directly by Danish universities. Therefore, it’s vital to refer to the scholarship or admissions sections of the specific university you are interested in attending. Each institution will provide detailed guidance on applying for their scholarships.

What to Look For:

• Eligibility requirements
• Whether a separate application for scholarships is necessary or if consideration is automatic once you apply for admission

3. Understand the Types of Scholarships Available

Scholarships for international students in Denmark often consist of tuition fee waivers (partial or full) and, in some cases, grants toward living expenses. It is important to familiarize yourself with the different types of scholarships available.

• Danish Government Scholarship: This scholarship can grant a full or partial tuition waiver and/or support for living costs, depending on the university’s policies.
• University-Specific Scholarships: For example, the University of Southern Denmark offers scholarships for non-EU/EEA students in specific Master’s programmes, which may cover tuition fees fully or partially based on merit.
• Danish State Educational Support (SU): This is generally for Danish residents, though certain international students may qualify for equal status under special circumstances.

4. Check Application Requirements and Deadlines

Eligibility criteria, deadlines, and required documentation vary by scholarship and university. Reliable information about these aspects is communicated clearly on the Study in Denmark platform and through individual university channels.

Examples:

• To be considered for the Danish Government Scholarship at the University of Southern Denmark, you must submit your complete application—along with all necessary documents—by the specified deadline, often February 1 for the following academic year.
