Law Office of Bent-Ove Feldung - J. Oskar Andersen's Scholarship for the Promotion of the Study of Church History Abroad

What the scholarship offers

You will receive a travel grant to study church history abroad. The grant covers a period of study in another country, with preference given to England and Scotland. The exact amount and duration are not disclosed. The scholarship was established in memory of J. Oskar Andersen (1866-1959), Professor of Church History at the University of Copenhagen. It is aimed at Danish theology students, theology graduates and clergy who wish to deepen their knowledge of church history abroad.

Who can apply

• Field of study: You are studying, or have studied, theology and have specialised in church history.

• Where you go: You will use the scholarship to study abroad. Possible destinations include other Nordic countries, as well as England and Scotland, with preference given to England and Scotland.
