Håndværkerforeningen for Birkerød og Bistrup Sognes støtte- og uddannelsesfond - The Birkerød Chamber of Trades Help and Scholarship Foundation

What you get

You will receive a one-off grant to help fund your craft apprenticeship or vocational further training. The Foundation determines the amount of the grant on a case-by-case basis, depending on your circumstances and financial needs. A total of around 100,000 DKK (approximately 13,400 EUR) is awarded annually, meaning that individual grants will be less than this amount. The funds come from the Birkerød Chamber of Crafts Aid and Scholarship Foundation (Danish: Håndværkerforeningen for Birkerød og Bistrup Sognes støtte- og uddannelsesfond), a charitable organisation founded in 1901 for craftspeople in the Birkerød area.

Who can apply

• What you do: You are undertaking an apprenticeship as a tradesperson or are already a qualified master tradesperson undertaking further training.
• Trade: Any trade can apply.
• Local connection: You have a connection to the municipality of Birkerød; for example, you were born or grew up there, or you live there.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply, as long as you have that local connection.
• Financial need: Your financial situation will be taken into account.

How to apply

Please send your application to the Foundation’s administrative officer. The deadline for applications is 15 February each year. You can expect a reply around mid-April.
