The students receive a scholarship of 5000 dkk, which is meant to cover food and accommodation. Depending on the course you choose, you either will have to look for accommodation yourself, or it will provided by the course organizer (if accommodation is provided by the course organizer, it will be deducted from the 5000 dkk scholarship).
