As part of our commitment to ensure diversity within a research environment, we offer up to two Excellence scholarships to encourage students who would not otherwise be able to participate in this year’s school. Recipients of the scholarship will have their registration fee waived. They will also receive support to cover major expenses related to their participation in the summer school, such as visa fees (if applicable), transportation, and/or accommodation. The total amount of the covered expenses cannot be higher than 14500 DKK.
Applicants for the Excellence scholarship will be assessed based on the following criteria:
- Academic performance
- Recipients of these scholarships are expected to have a stellar academic record and meet all criteria to be registered at the summer school (see here). To assess these requirements, we kindly ask interested participants to submit a CV to pes-summerschool@dtu.dk in addition to their application form.
- Motivation for Attendance
- On the application form, participants are asked to explain why they would like to participate in summer school and how they believe they can benefit from participation. That response will be used to assess the applicant’s motivation.
- Financial Necessity
- We would like applicants to elaborate on what the money would go towards and how it would support their participation. This question is also included in the application form.
Important information: Please do not apply for this scholarship if you have the wherewithal to cover your trip to Denmark. Applicants for the Excellence scholarships will not be considered for a paid spot at the summer school. We kindly invite everyone to adhere to this rule.
