William and Hugo Evers Foundation

William & Hugo Evers Foundation study-trip grant

You will receive a one-off grant of DKK 2,500 to DKK 4,000 (about 670 EUR) for a study-related trip abroad. The money comes from the ‘William and Hugo Evers Fund’, a Danish charitable foundation based in Birkerd, which awards grants once a year. The payment will be made via NemKonto, the standard Danish system for bank payments.
