Awards:
Scholarships are awarded to qualified applicants in order to support either five-months of study in Denmark (Fall semester: September – January, or Spring semester: February - June) or ten months (full academic year: September - June). The scholarship funds are intended to cover housing and living expenses in Denmark as well as educational supplies and any special fees or tuition.
