Fondation Idella - Foundation Idella

Fondation Idella travel grant (Humanities)

You will receive a travel grant of at least 2,680 EUR (20,000 DKK) for a study period abroad lasting up to 1 years. There is no set upper limit, so you may apply for a higher amount. The grant covers travel, accommodation and living expenses, as well as any tuition fees at the overseas institution. The grant is provided by the Fondation Idella, a charitable foundation established in 1994 that supports young students in the fields of art, music, film, architecture and design. The foundation gives preference to longer stays, ideally one or two semesters abroad. The grants are generally subject to tax.

Who can apply

• Where you study now: You are enrolled at one of the Danish art colleges listed, such as the Aarhus School of Architecture.
• Where you go: You are using the scholarship to study abroad. Study in Denmark is not eligible for funding.
• Nationality: Applicants of all nationalities are welcome to apply, including international students, provided they are studying outside Denmark.
• Age: At the time of applying, you are 35 years old or younger.
• Your plan: You have already organised your stay and have contacted the institution, lecturers or supervisors abroad, or have received confirmation from them. At the time of applying, your trip has not yet begun.
• Your project: You propose something new that helps you professionally. A plain exchange covered by Nordplus, Erasmus or your own university does not count. Career activities like concerts or exhibitions do not count either.
• Timing: Your journey begins on or after 1 January 2027.
