Aarhus University Fulbright Research Grant 2026 in the USA
The Fulbright Commission and the Denmark-America Foundation have officially announced the launch of the Fulbright grants for study or research placements in the USA for the 2026/2027 academic year. These highly prestigious awards are designed to strengthen academic exchange and provide Danish students with the opportunity to pursue advanced studies or research at leading U.S. universities. Open to students at the MSc and PhD levels, the program reflects a long-standing commitment to fostering international collaboration and academic excellence.
One of the most notable aspects of these grants is the financial support they provide, ranging from DKK 50,000 to 100,000.

By alleviating financial pressures, the Fulbright grants allow recipients to fully focus on their research and studies, making the most of the academic and cultural opportunities available in the United States.
Alongside financial support, awardees receive expert guidance from the Fulbright Commission, including help with academic placement, orientation, and mentorship to ensure both academic success and a smooth transition to life in the U.S.
For Danish students, the Fulbright grants are a life-changing chance to pursue world-class education, build global networks, and strengthen ties between Denmark and the United States. Ambitious learners seeking academic growth and international experience should apply.
