Laege Johs. Brandt-Joergensens Familielegat - Doctor Johs. Brandt-Jørgensen's Family Scholarship

Doctor Johs. Brandt-Jørgensen's Family Scholarship

You will receive financial support for a degree course or vocational training in Denmark. The amount is not published and is determined on a case-by-case basis. The only publicly available information is a tax rule: payments of up to 5,000 DKK (approximately 670 EUR) per year are tax-free; anything above this amount is added to your taxable income. The money can be used for your education or professional development. It can also be used for travel, leisure breaks or visits to relatives. Dr Johs. Brandt-Jørgensen set up the fund to help his own family.

Who can apply

• Family link: You are a descendant of the founder’s grandparents, either on the Jørgensen side (from Assens and Viborg) or on the Brandt side (from Nyborg and Svendborg). This is the only essential requirement.
• Proof of descent: You can prove the family relationship, for example, with a birth certificate and a family tree.
• Where you study: You are studying or undertaking vocational training in Denmark.
• Field of study: Any topic is allowed.
• Nationality: Applicants of any nationality may apply, provided they can prove their family connection.

How to apply

The family manages the fund privately, so there is no online portal. You can submit your application at any time of the year, although the annual deadline is 15 March. Your application must show that you are a descendant of the founder’s grandparents.
