Craftsmen and Industrial Association for Ringsted and Surroundings - Ringsted Industrial Association's Anniversary Foundation

What you get

You will receive a grant of one-off grant towards further training in your professional field. The Executive Board determines the amount of each grant on a case-by-case basis, so there is no fixed amount. In February 2025, two students each received 10,000 DKK (approximately 1,340 EUR), and in a subsequent round of awards, 20,000 DKK (approximately 2,680 EUR) was awarded to each recipient. The funds come from the Ringsted Industry Association’s Anniversary Foundation, which is administered by the Ringsted and Surrounding Areas Trade and Industry Association. It supports craftspeople in further developing their craft.
