Benefit

You will receive a one-off grant to support yourself and your education. The amount is not stated and is determined on a case-by-case basis. The money comes from the Kong Frederik den Syvendes Stiftelse at Jaegerspris Castle, which manages this fund (the ‘Fruentimmerfonden’ or Women’s Fund). The grant is intended to help cover your living expenses in Denmark, but does not cover study trips abroad.
