What the travel scholarship gives you

You get a travel grant for a study period abroad. It is aimed at young students in trade and industry who want to build their skills overseas. The amount per person is not published. In 2024 the foundation handed out 2,000,000 DKK in total (about 268,000 EUR) in travel grants to students in these fields.
