Scholarships

Each year, DIS grants over $2 million in scholarships, and on average, 50% of all students receive financial support from DIS through scholarships and discounts.

Many students also utilize financial aid from their home universities or apply for external scholarships to help fund their DIS experience.

DIS scholarships

We offer need-based, diversity, and merit-based scholarships. You may apply for DIS scholarships before, during, or after admission up until the deadline.

Additional study abroad scholarships

These scholarships have historically rewarded funds to DIS students. Please note that some scholarships are specific to either Copenhagen or Stockholm, while others are available in both locations.

Never be embarrassed by your financial situation. DIS is aware of low-income students’ need for scholarships, and are willing to help. I have gotten so much support since I’ve been here, and it all started with asking.
