The Anglo-Danish Society Scholarships

The Anglo-Danish Society was founded 100 years ago to further relations between our two nations and is at the centre of the Anglo-Danish community, providing a wide-ranging annual programme of news and events that celebrates both cultures and appeals to a wide group of people who are interested in Anglo-Danish matters. Its membership is concentrated in London and the South East but it has members in Denmark, the rest of Europe and around the globe. It collaborates with other Danish organisations, and the main Anglo-Nordic groups, on events of mutual interest.

The Society has supported education since 1959 and their investment in the youth of our two countries continues today with its charitable Scholarship Programme that provides financial support to British and Danish postgraduate students with scholarships worth £3,500 each. This funding support makes a real difference to the Scholars by enabling research and facilitating a broader educational experience beyond a curriculum.

Alongside the general Anglo-Danish Society Scholarships, which are open to any subject area, the Society also administrates the additional award below. The scholarship application form on the Anglo-Danish Society's website is used for all scholarships.

Ove Arup Foundation Award

The Anglo-Danish society administers together with the Ove Arup Foundation a special scholarship. This is awarded for study at postgraduate level in subjects relating to the “Built Environment” and is for the fixed amount of £2,500. In addition it offers the successful applicant contact with the Ove Arup Foundation and the Foundation’s commitment to support and publicise any publication made as a result of the scholarship. For this reason candidates who can demonstrate that their research is likely to result in publication will be favoured.
