Torben and Alice Frimodt's Foundation

What you get

You will receive a tax-free grant for a study or research trip abroad. This may cover the costs of transport, accommodation, meals, minor daily expenses and documented educational expenses. The foundation does not disclose the amount of the grant. It supports smaller trips where its financial support is crucial to whether the trip goes ahead at all. The grant remains tax-free only if you provide proof of your expenses and report them to the Danish tax authorities. The money comes from the ‘Torben & Alice Frimodts Fond’, a Danish foundation that promotes science, nature conservation and humanitarian causes.

Who can apply

• Who you are: You are a PhD student or researcher with an approved scholarship, i.e. funding to cover the costs of your studies. Master’s students (candidates) may apply, provided that additional funds are available.
• What the trip is for: A study or research trip or stay abroad with a scientific, nature-conservation or humanitarian purpose.
• University link: You are affiliated with a Danish university.
• Where you live: You live somewhere in Denmark.
• Subject: Applicants from all fields of study are welcome to apply.
• No double funding: If the same costs are already covered by another grant, you must repay the Frimodt funds.

How to apply

Apply online via the Foundation’s study tour portal. Applications sent by post will not be accepted. There are two application deadlines each year: 15 April and 1 November. All applicants will receive a response, usually within one to two months of the deadline.
