What Danish Government Scholarship for Non-EU/EEA Students actually covers.
The Danish Government Scholarship for Non-EU/EEA students provides full tuition fee waivers to highly qualified students from non-EU/EEA countries, including all 54 African nations, applying for Master's degree programmes at Danish universities. The scholarship is distributed through Danish universities, which receive a limited number of government scholarships annually to attract excellent international students. All eligible applicants who are offered a study place are automatically considered for the scholarship — no separate application is needed. Denmark offers world-class education in a welcoming Nordic environment known for innovation, sustainability, and work-life balance. Danish universities are strong in engineering, science, business, environmental studies, and social sciences. African students benefit from Denmark's safe and inclusive environment, high-quality teaching, and the opportunity to experience Scandinavian academic culture. Some Danish universities additionally offer tuition fee waivers beyond the government scholarship, and a few also offer support for PhD and bachelor's degrees.
