However, you have to meet two another criteria: you must be enrolled in a full degree higher education programme and you must be granted a time-limited residence permit in Denmark due to education.

        The grant should be given when the person wins a scholarship or…?

  7. Dear Sofija,

    So you are eligible citizen to apply and you are enrolled in a higher education programme. Since in the information shared on our web, there is no specification whether there would be a problem if an applicant is enrolled outside their country of residence, we advise you to contact responsible contact persons and there should be such contacts on this webpage: http://studyindenmark.dk/study-in-denmark/danish-….
    As for your second questions, it probably means that you need first to be given residence permit in order to receive your scholarship, and it says "time-limited" probably because you cannot be given permanent one. Hope this helps, however consider finding and checking with the appropriate contact persons.

    Kind regards,

    1. Dear Maja,

      That is totally up to the organizers and the scholarships' providers. Also, do consider that deadlines vary for different programs, so maybe the ones for art or architecture are already passed.

      Kind regards,
