Johannes og Helga Bøggilds Legat - Johannes and Helga Bøggild's Scholarship

Johannes and Helga Bøggild's Scholarship

You will receive a travel grant of 5,000 to 10,000 DKK (about 670 to 1,340 EUR) for a study period of at least 12 months in an English-speaking country. The grant is awarded by the ‘Johannes og Helga Bøggilds Legat’, a Danish foundation established in 1956. It supports young Danes who wish to undertake further studies abroad.

Who can apply

• Where you go: You are studying in an English-speaking country. A course taught in English does not count if the country itself is not English-speaking.
• Length of stay: Your programme lasts for at least 12 months at a single institution. Short stays, group trips, general language courses and regular school lessons are not taken into account.
• Field of study: You study commerce or banking (preferred), or law or medicine. Other subjects are not funded.
• Nationality: You are a young person from Denmark.
• Your own budget: You must be able to demonstrate that you have a total budget of at least 200,000 DKK (approximately 26,800 EUR) for your studies abroad.
• Background (bonus, not required): You will be given some priority if you have lost one or both parents or if you grew up outside Copenhagen.
