Nykøbing Katedralskole - The Scholarship Foundation

What the Scholarship Foundation gives you

You will receive a grant of one-off, need-based grant towards your further education. The amount depends on your financial circumstances, which you must provide evidence of when applying. The sources do not specify either a fixed amount or a payment period. The fund is administered by Nykøbing Katedralskole, a Danish grammar school in Nykøbing Falster. It combines three existing scholarships under a single application process. One of these, the ‘Civilingeniør Knud Højgaard’s Scholarship’, is primarily aimed at students at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), so studying there will improve your chances of receiving this part of the scholarship.

Who can apply

• Your old school: You have completed your STX or HF (the two Danish A-levels) at Nykøbing Katedralskole in one of the last few years, or you are currently in your final year there.
• What you are doing now: You are studying or in further education after school.
• Financial need: You require financial support. Please enclose an overview of your financial situation: your income (student grant, scholarships, wages), your assets and your household income.
• Field of study: Open to all subjects.
• Nationality: Applicants of any nationality are welcome to apply. It’s the school that matters, not where you come from.

How to apply

Please complete the school’s application form and enclose your tax assessment notice for the previous year, certified copies of your examination certificates, your current academic record and a written statement explaining your reasons for applying. Send the documents to the school by email or post. The application deadline is 15 April each year. The results will be announced at the graduation ceremony on the last Friday in June.
