Aarhus University (AU) has published a comprehensive guide to help Latin American students finance their postgraduate education in Denmark. The resource outlines scholarship opportunities, student loans, and budgeting tips to make studying in Denmark more accessible.
Danish State Scholarship
AU offers Danish Government Scholarships to non-EU students, including those from Latin America. These grants vary by faculty:
- Arts and Aarhus BSS: Tuition waiver + monthly living allowance
- Natural and Technical Sciences: Tuition waiver
Scholarship applicants are automatically considered during admission. Recipients can also work up to 90 hours/month during the semester.
Country-Specific Funding Opportunities
The guide lists national programs that support postgraduate study abroad:
- Mexico: FUNED, FIDERH, Laudex
- Colombia: ICETEX, Colfuturo
- Peru: PRONABEC
- Costa Rica: CONARE, CONAPE
Students are encouraged to explore similar options in their home countries using targeted search terms (e.g., “funding study abroad”).
