About this position
This scholarship supports Danish citizens with close ties to Denmark who are pursuing a Master’s degree in the United States, usually at the Harvard Kennedy School and in some cases at another comparable Ivy League university. It is designed for study in public policy or public administration and is administered by the Danish-American Fulbright Commission.
The award can support either a one-year or a full two-year master’s programme. The one-year option is intended for experienced professionals, while the two-year route supports a broader graduate progression. The scholarship covers tuition in full and includes health insurance, with funding stated at approximately €34,370 for the one-year place.
The fund is highly selective and offers up to three scholarships annually. It is intended for students whose academic and professional profile aligns with graduate study in the policy and public-sector fields, and whose chosen programme fits within the Harvard Kennedy School or a comparable Ivy League setting.
