ELIGIBILITY:

EU/EEA/Swiss students cannot apply for scholarships at AU.

Aarhus University offers a limited number of Danish state scholarships for non-EU students. Our scholarships are financed by the Danish state. Aarhus University does not have its own scholarship funds, but rely solely on funding from the Danish state for this purpose.

When you apply to Aarhus University, the university automatically considers you for Danish State Scholarships.

You do not need to complete a separate application.

If you submit your application by the specified deadline, the university will automatically assess you for a scholarship.

When you apply for admission, your application will automatically be assessed with a view to a possible scholarship along with our academic assessment of your qualifications. You should not upload any additional documentation to your application for admission..

The scholarship is connected very specifically to your Master’s degree programme and cannot be transferred to another degree programme at AU. 

Only applicants who have applied for a Master’s degree programme no later than 15 January (summer admission) and 15 September (winter admission) will be considered for a tuition waiver/scholarship.

Typically, only one or two scholarships are offered on each of our Master’s degree programmes. At some faculties, strategic focus may be placed on selected degree programmes or applicants from specific countries.

If you are selected for a scholarship, you will receive a scholarship offer along with your letter of admission in the application system. Please note there will be a very short deadline to accept your possible tuition waiver/scholarship offer.

If you are not selected for a scholarship, you will receive a tuition fee notification instead.
