Benefit

You receive a one-off grant of up to 10,000 DKK (about 1,340 EUR). The money is paid once and covers 12 months. It is taxable. The grant comes from Jørgen Esmers Mindelegat, a Danish foundation set up in 1968 that supports people and organisations connected to trade, crafts and industry. It funds studying in Denmark. The grant is not renewable, and trips or stays abroad are not covered in this category.
