Interested in studies in the U.S.?

In addition to Fulbright Denmark’s own grants and the ones we administer, we also have knowledge of a number of other scholarships and programs for study and research in the United States.

We do not administer these grants, and you will most often have to contact the university or the foundation behind the grants for further information.

The information here is an overview only and Fulbright Denmark cannot be made responsible for the content under each of these grants.

Each year, the Nieman Foundation awards paid fellowships to up to 24 journalists working in print, broadcast, digital and audiovisual media. Journalists and other professionals working in positions that support journalism, such as the business or technology departments of news companies, are welcome to apply for one of the foundation’s short-term Visiting Fellowships.

During their time at Harvard, Nieman Fellows attend seminars, shop talks, master classes and journalism conferences designed to strengthen their professional skills and leadership capabilities, thereby helping to fortify the news industry itself. With the knowledge they gain on campus and the relationships they build, fellows often return to work as journalism entrepreneurs, industry innovators and top managers in their newsrooms.
