About this scholarship

A scholarship financed by the Danish government and given by Aalborg University to selected master's students from outside the EU and the EEA. About 15 are given a year, and there is no separate application.

Funding type

Covers: the tuition fee, and a monthly stipend for living costs during the four semesters of the master's. The stipend announced for new students in 2026 is DKK 11,225 (EUR 1,503) a month, and the 2027 rate is not announced. You may have to pay tax on the stipend, and the university says it may not cover all your living costs. The stipend is paid once you have a CPR number, a NemKonto account and are registered with the tax authority, and it may be paid retroactively. No stipend is paid after the first two years if your studies run longer.
