Hans Tausen's Foundation

Hans Tausens Fond scholarship

You receive up to 100,000 DKK (about 13,000 EUR) per funding area, paid once a year. The fund covers three things: study grants for theology students in the final phase of their Master's degree; study and travel grants for pastors and theology graduates who plan to apply for a parish post; and book grants for the same group to buy theological books. The Faculty of Theology at the University of Copenhagen runs the fund.

Who can apply

• You study theology: You are a theology student in the final phase of your Master's (kandidat) degree. PhD students cannot apply.
• Or you work in the church: You are a pastor or a theology graduate who plans to apply for a parish (local church) post and wants a travel or book grant.
• Clear purpose: For a book or travel grant, your application must state a clear theological study goal. If you get a travel grant, you report back on the church life you saw.
• Financial need: Not required for book and travel grants.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply.

How to apply

You apply online once a year. Students fill in the Hans Tausens Fond application form and attach a one-page motivation letter. Pastors and theology graduates applying for a parish post do not use the form. For a book grant, add a priced book list. For a travel grant, add a travel budget.
