Danish Government Scholarship at Copenhagen Business School (CBS), September 2027
The Danish Government Scholarship at Copenhagen Business School offers approximately 25 scholarships per year to highly qualified full-degree students from outside the EU, EEA and Switzerland who need a Danish student residence permit, for eligible full-time Master's programmes. Each scholarship includes a tuition-fee waiver and a monthly grant of DKK 8,000 for up to 22 months (taxable in Denmark). Applicants must indicate scholarship interest in the CBS Application Portal and upload a personal statement; selection is based on academic record, English proficiency and the personal statement, not on financial need. The portal is scheduled to open 15 December 2026 and the deadline is 15 January 2027 at 23:59 CET. Tier B: 2027 dates are corroborated by three independent secondary sources citing CBS's official admission page, while the fetched official CBS page is the 2026-cycle version; the merger should re-check the official CBS page for 2027 wording. Not a duplicate: existing Danish Government records are DTU (SCH-DB-210/459) and SDU (SCH-DB-445).

Minimum requirements
Non-EU, non-EEA and non-Swiss citizen needing a Danish student residence permit; application to an eligible full-time Master's programme at CBS; scholarship interest indicated in the Application Portal plus a personal statement; application fee paid by the deadline unless exempt; not eligible for SU or other public support.
Application checklist
- Confirm non-EU, non-EEA and non-Swiss citizenship and the need for a Danish student residence permit
- Apply for an eligible full-time Master's programme at CBS (not every CBS Master's programme necessarily offers a scholarship — confirm programme eligibility on the official programme page)
- In the CBS Application Portal, indicate that you wish to be considered for the scholarship and upload the required personal statement (max 2 pages)
- Pay the application fee by the deadline, unless exempt (for example, holders of a bachelor's degree from a Danish educational institution)
- Apply via the CBS portal when it opens on 15 December 2026 and before 15 January 2027 at 23:59 CET; confirm the scholarship is not available if you are eligible for SU (Danish State Educational Grant) or other public support
Application tips
- The scholarship personal statement is mandatory: without it you are not considered, even with a strong admission application.
- Selection is based on academic record, English proficiency and the personal statement — not on financial need — so write the statement as an academic case, not a hardship case.
- The scholarship deadline follows the Group 2 (non-EU/EEA/Swiss) application deadline: do not confuse it with CBS's other rounds.
- Confirm the 2027 dates on the official CBS page before applying, since this record's 2027 dates are secondary-sourced and the fetched official CBS page is the 2026-cycle version.
Always verify deadline, amount and eligibility on the official page before applying. Values marked ESTIMATE are based on a previous cycle and are not confirmed for the current round.
