SDU Danish Government Scholarships , Denmark (Full Tuition Waivers)

SDU offers a limited number of scholarships for highly qualified non-EU/EEA citizens. The Danish government offers a limited number of scholarships through the Danish Government Scholarship programme, described by SDU as recognising the investment overseas students make during their education. SDU states the scholarships are available only for specific programmes offered on SDU campuses in Vejle and Sønderborg.

The scholarship is for non-EU/EEA citizens enrolling in specified master programmes at the SDU campus in Sønderborg or bachelor programmes at the SDU campus in Vejle. SDU lists the relevant programmes by degree level and field of study. If an applicant is eligible to receive the Danish State Grant, SDU says they cannot be considered for this scholarship.

SDU says selection is based on results in the online admission test (uniTEST) and an online interview for bachelor applicants, and on bachelor grade point average plus an online interview for master applicants.
