Which scholarships can I apply for to fund an MBA in Denmark?
Scholarships for an MBA in Denmark are competitive and usually based on academic achievement, professional experience or leadership potential. Options include CBS MBA scholarships offering up to a 40% tuition discount, limited Danish government awards that may not cover MBA programmes, Erasmus Mundus for selected joint programmes, and employer sponsorship.
Most Danish MBA scholarships are competitive and awarded on academic achievement, professional experience, leadership potential or a mix of these. The Danish government gives a limited number of scholarships to highly qualified non-EU/EEA students in eligible full-degree programmes, which may not include MBA programmes, so do not assume every school offers a full scholarship.
Scholarship Options
| Scholarship | Potential benefit | Important point |
|---|---|---|
| CBS MBA scholarships | Up to 40% tuition-fee discount | Merit or profile based; early application recommended |
| Danish government scholarships | Tuition waiver and/or grant in eligible programmes | Limited, institution-controlled and not necessarily available for MBA programmes |
| Erasmus Mundus | May cover tuition and other study costs | Only for selected joint master's programmes |
| Employer sponsorship | Can cover part or all of an executive MBA | Particularly relevant for executive MBA candidates |
Before You Apply
- Check scholarship eligibility before you apply to the MBA itself.
- Apply early, since awards are limited and merit based.
My Advice
Check funding options at the shortlisting stage, because it can change which school is affordable. Apply early for merit-based discounts and prepare a strong profile of results and leadership. If you are in a job, ask your employer about sponsorship before assuming you must self-fund.
