Gribskov Kommune - Farm owner Andersen Albrechtsen's Scholarship Abroad

What the scholarship gives you

You will receive a one-off grant of a variable amount towards training in agriculture, horticulture or forestry. You may also use this amount for a study trip or for studying or working abroad in one of these fields. The money comes from the interest earned on a charitable fund, so the exact amount varies from year to year. You can keep the amount as a grant or take it as an interest-free loan to be repaid later. The fund is managed by Gribskov Municipality in Denmark to help young farmers from the region with their training and entry into the profession.
