Copenhagen Business School Scholarship Programme

Key facts

What the Copenhagen Business School Scholarship Programme covers — and why it's worth applying

Merit-based; partial tuition coverage for qualifying candidates. The award (DKK 40,000–80,000/yr (~€5,300–10,700)) is aimed at Master's study in Denmark, and goes to Master's students in business, economics, and management with strong academic profile.

Beyond the money, prestigious scholarships like this strengthen your CV, open alumni and professional networks, and can make your visa application stronger by proving your funding. Even if you're unsure you'll win, applying costs nothing here and the process sharpens your SOP for every other application.
