Denmark - Open Study/Research Award

The Fulbright Denmark Open Study/Research Award provides grants to American students for one academic year in Denmark at Master's and PhD level. This program supports either one Fulbright year in Denmark with combined research/study plans at Master's and PhD level, or the first year of a Master's degree in Denmark. Fulbright Denmark awards grants to the most talented graduate and PhD-students who demonstrate outstanding academic performance and will actively contribute to the promotion of mutual understanding as cultural ambassadors of the U.S. in Denmark. The program has focus areas in life sciences, space, and environmental responsibility, though applications in all fields are welcome. A special Arctic Semester with Aarhus University is also available for up to three American graduate students per year, where students spend the first semester at the Arctic Research Centre in Aarhus and the second semester at the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources in Nuuk, Greenland. Applicants must be self-reliant and independent to adapt to Danish academic traditions, which are less catering than typical American universities.
