- The scholarship is applied for by the student, not by a supervisor, and it funds a cancer research project over a period that extends the normal length of the degree. Only one year can be awarded. The page sets out no nationality rule, but this is Denmark's national cancer charity, the call and its guidance documents are in Danish, and the stipend is written around a Danish study programme, so treat it as a Denmark-based opportunity and confirm with the funder before applying from outside Denmark. No application fee is mentioned anywhere in the call.
