      1. Hello,

        if this is a question, I advise you to READ:

        "- 19 EU-countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Spain, and the Netherlands

        Pakistan is not there, so it is clear.

  1. I'm looking through there scholarship programs , and almost none of the includes Georgia :/ I am from Goergia , so I should get another country citizenship to get an opportunity for applying ?:(

    1. Dear Nino,
      I heard Macedonia is looking for extra citizens. But I doubt their citizenship will increase your chances… Maybe you can give Russia a try? 😉

  2. Hi,

    my name is Kristin and in these days I attend DSM&J in Aarhus as an international student from Slovakia for spring semester 2011. I would love to ask whether it is possible for me as well to apply for the financial aid.

    Thank you.

    Kristin

    1. Hi Kristin,

      `Please note, the scholarships are only offered to students or researchers enrolled at a university in their home country.` So if you are enrolled at a Slovak university I guess you can apply, if not, you can`t.
      Kind regards,

      1. Thank you, greet, for the answer. Yes, I am enrolled at university in Slovak republic, but I come for one semester to participate on Erasmus project ion Denmark. I´m not sure if it is not late to apply (financial aid is perhaps meant to be given to the students for next school year). Correct me, please, if I´m wrong.

        Thank you again.

        Kristin

  3. I graduated my home university in Latvia few months ago but i want to apply for a Danish government scholarship for the academic year 2011/2012. If i'm not enrolled at any University now, it means i'm not eligible to apply for the scholarship?

  4. What is the deadline- February 28 or March 28?

    Can I apply without English certificate and (if my application is accepted) get certificate later?

    Is this an exchange program? How long does this program last and which degree do I get when finish this program, my home university's degree or that danish degree?

    1. Stefan,

      I encourage you to read: The deadline for scholarships is the 28 February 2011. The deadline for applications for Danish summer language courses in 2011 is the 28th of March 2011.

      Certificate of proficiency in English is absolutely essential for most of the scholarship programmes, but in some cases you can submit it later (it, however, puts you into disadvantage in relationship with the others, of course)

      There are two programmes: long-term scholarships (which, in my opinion, is only an exchange, as you must be enrolled in the university and you are basically setting the duration, as I understood it) and summer school of Danish language, which I think you will finish the course with some certificate.

      Best,

      I can not give you that kind of information, since Mladiinfo is a webpage that only informs about various opportunities. Please contact the appropriate institutions for further detail. (Ministries, Embassies etc.)

  8. Hi, I am Indonesian. I am now enrolling at PhD in Law program in Indonesian, but I would like to undertake another master degree in Denmark. Please let me know if I am eligible for that scholarship?

    Kind regards,

    1. Dear Manotar Tampubolon,

      Unfortunately, Indonesia was not included in the list of eligible countries, what means that you probably cannot apply for this scholarship.
