IAP Scholarships

Danish Students Traveling to the US:

The UW-Madison ScanDesign Fellowship Program for Danish Scholars is primarily about providing activities for Danish students studying in Madison to help you enjoy your time in Madison and get to know the area a little better. All students from Danish universities who come to Madison through one of the university exchange or visiting scholar programs are welcome to participate in ScanDesign activities. Once you have been accepted to UW-Madison, you should receive an invitation email from Program Director Julie Allen. If, however, you do not receive the initial email, please feel free to contact her directly at jkallen@wisc.edu for more information. We also have limited scholarship funds available for students who can demonstrate academic merit, a commitment to making the most of their exchange experience, and financial need.

The selection process for the ScanDesign scholarships is carried out by the Danish ScanDesign Foundation Board.  Please submit all application materials (see below) in English by email to Julie Allen (jkallen@wisc.edu).

Application Deadlines:

For Fall term: August 15th (applications will be accepted beginning June 1st and processed on a rolling basis, so earlier applications are more likely to be successful).

For Spring term: January 15th (applications will be accepted beginning Dec. 1st and processed on a rolling basis, so earlier applications are more likely to be successful).

Application Materials/Requirements:

Students may only apply after receiving confirmation of acceptance from UW-Madison. All Scan Design Fellowship recipients must be Danish citizens and have a valid Danish passport. Close relatives of ScanDesign Foundation employees and university affiliates are not eligible to apply. Priority will be given to students who have not previously had extensive exposure to American culture and, as applicable, who participate actively in ScanDesign-hosted events. All scholarship funds awarded will be paid by check in US dollars after the recipient's arrival in Madison.

To apply for a scholarship, please send the following information in a .pdf attachment, in English to Julie Allen at jkallen@wisc.edu:

1. A personal statement including your name, age, home university, major field of study, class standing (undergraduate/graduate), your reasons for choosing to study abroad in Madison, your previous experiences with American culture, your goals for your exchange experience, and any relevant information about your financial need or other extenuating circumstances. This essay is the most important part of the application, as it gives you a chance to explain how financial support from the ScanDesign foundation would affect your exchange experience.

 b. A current CV, including any extracurricular activities and community service

 c. A realistic, detailed budget for your projected expenses while in Madison, including resources you plan to draw on (SU, savings, and any other scholarships you may have applied for). The amount of the ScanDesign scholarship is generally $1000, but can be increased in cases of an applicant's demonstrated financial need and evidence of sincere efforts to acquire sources of funding.

d. A transcript of all grades earned at university thus far

e. (optional) 1-2 letters of recommendation from employers, professors, or instructors.
