Danish Government Scholarships | University of Copenhagen – Fully funded

OVERVIEW

The Danish Government Scholarship program, offered by the University of Copenhagen (UCPH), provides a limited number of tuition waivers and grants to highly talented students with exceptional academic records from non-EU/EEA countries. These scholarships are competitive, and all non-EU/EEA applicants who are admitted to a master’s degree program at the University will automatically be considered for the scholarship.

The Danish Government Scholarship can be awarded as either full or partial tuition fee waivers, as well as an additional amount to cover basic living costs.

The scholarships are awarded solely based on academic achievement, without considering financial need. Specific selection criteria and procedures for each faculty can be found at the bottom of the relevant webpage.

Eligibility criteria for the scholarship include:

Citizenship from a country outside the EU, EEA, or Switzerland.
Admission to a master’s degree program at the University of Copenhagen.

The scholarship is awarded without the need for a separate application. All non-EU/EEA applicants to UCPH’s MA/MSc degree programs will automatically be considered.
