General information

Scholarship period

With respect to residence permits and/or visa, we recommend that accepted applicants contact the Danish diplomatic representation in their home country well in advance of their entry into Denmark.

Some Danish higher education institutions may choose to charge Ph.D. students a course fee in conjunction with enrollment in Ph.D. courses.

Danish Government Scholarships can be used to cover travel, visa, accomodation, food, and other living expenses. The scholarships are for one person only. Additional amounts for accompanying family members are not available.

Participants may be liable to pay tax on their scholarship in the Kingdom of Denmark. Therefore, scholarship recipients should contact the local tax authorities for an individual assessment. In the event that the Danish tax authorities decide that a scholarship is taxable, the Agency for Science and Higher Education has no power to overturn the decision.
