Fulbright Denmark provides guidance for prospective Danish applicants who are planning graduate studies in the United States.

Our advising primarily focuses on graduate-level students — both degree-seeking and non-degree students — as well as so-called free movers who arrange their own studies in the U.S. without the support of their home university.

Are you a top graduate or PhD student interested in our scholarships? Contact Fulbright Denmark to schedule an online meeting about your U.S. study plans.

If you are interested in pursuing a full degree in the U.S., we also recommend exploring EducationUSA’s website for additional resources.

Master’s Students

You are eligible to apply for a Fulbright grant if:

• You plan to study in the U.S. for an entire degree or a non-degree stay of one or more semesters.
• Your studies can be part of your Danish education, with courses transferable upon approval from your Danish university.

Please note: You are not eligible for a Fulbright scholarship if you are going to the U.S. through an exchange agreement between your Danish university and an American host university.

PhD Students

You are eligible to apply for a Fulbright grant if:

• You plan a research stay in the U.S. of six to twelve months as part of your Danish PhD program, and you have secured affiliation with an American host university.
• You intend to complete your entire PhD in the U.S.

For many Danish PhD programs, an international research stay is a requirement. In most cases, it is the student’s responsibility to plan the stay abroad and obtain approval from their home institution. Fulbright Denmark can support you in making that stay possible in the U.S.
