Aarhus University Scholarships (Denmark)

Aarhus University awards its strongest non-EU master’s applicants tuition waivers, full or partial, with a subset of packages adding a living stipend for a fully funded Danish degree. There is no separate scholarship form: departments rank the regular admission files submitted by the annual January 15 deadline for autumn entry.
