DenmarkAbout the Danish Government Scholarships
Danish Government Scholarships provide tuition fee waivers, and in some cases a living grant, for non-EU/EEA students admitted to Danish universities, mainly at the Master's level. This is not a separately competed-for award: you are automatically considered when you apply for admission, provided you meet the academic and English proficiency bar.
Because it is folded into the standard admission process, exact deadlines vary by university, though most align with a February 1 admission deadline for programs starting that autumn.
