Open Call for PhD Scholarships

 

Terms and practicalities

 

The DDSA Scholarship Grant

The DDSA PhD grant is a fixed amount of DKK 1.800.000 (+ 5% administrative costs), expected to cover three years of salary, tuition fee, external stay as well as relevant travel – and operational costs.

If the total cost of the PhD project should exceed the fixed amount granted, the enrolling university is expected to cover such additional expenses. It will however, be possible to apply for additional DDSA funding for parental leave and travel fellowships 

If the applicant receives another grant covering the same project as described in your application to the DDSA, the DDSA reserves the right to withdraw your PhD scholarship grant.
