Sønderborg Statsskole - Border Control Master Kristian Langvad Christensen and wife Anna , born Hübner's Scholarship, created by Sigurd Christensen

Benefit

You will receive a one-off grant of up to 20,000 DKK (about 2,680 EUR). This is generally intended to support a study-related stay abroad, such as an exchange programme, an internship or a research placement at a foreign university. Each year, the fund awards a total of approximately 40,000 to 60,000 DKK, divided into two or three grants, depending on the decision of the board. The money comes from the ‘Sønderborg Statsskoles Legatfond’, a scholarship fund administered by Sønderborg Statsskole, a state upper secondary school in southern Denmark.

• Field of study: Any subject.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply.
• Financial need: Priority is given to students who need the money. The committee takes into account both your academic performance and your financial circumstances.
• What it is for: The scholarship is primarily intended to fund a study-related stay abroad.

How to apply
