Sandersen Foundation - Civil Engineer Bernhard Eisenreich Sandersen and Wife Ruth Sandersen's Foundation

What you get

You receive a one-off grant for your master's studies in civil engineering. The foundation does not publish the amount and sets it case by case. The grant helps with three situations: a study stay abroad, studies affected by illness, or general financial need. The provider is a private Danish fund that pays out its grants on its founder's birthday, 23 January, and reviews applications in the weeks before.

Who can apply

• Degree level: You are at the master's (kandidat) stage. Bachelor and PhD students cannot apply.
• Field of study: You study civil engineering.
• Nationality: You are a Danish citizen.
• University: You study at a Danish university.
• Your situation: You plan a study stay abroad, are affected by illness, or are in financial need. Applicants with a disability, a mental illness, or a chronic or serious illness such as cancer or sclerosis are preferred, but this is not required.

How to apply

You apply through the foundation's online form. The next deadline is 2 November 2026.
