American Scandinavian Foundation - Fellowship Exchange Program
Established in 1910 by Danish-American industrialist Niels Poulson and a a group of other forward-thinking leaders from business and education, the ASF was the first international non-governmental society to have as its sole purpose the development of goodwill through educational and cultural exchange. The American-Scandinavian Foundation's Fellowships and Grants Program, designed to promote individual scholarship, knowledge and skills, continues to be fundatmental to the Foundation's mission of advancing cultural and educational relations between the United States and the five Scandinavian Countries.
The ASF offers fellowships and grants for Americans to pursue advanced study or research in Denmark, and for Danes to pursue advanced study or research in the U.S. Awards are made in all academic fields on the graduate or post-graduate level, and in the arts. The program serves a diverse group of junior and senior scholars and professionals who have need for a short or long visit in-country and have the training and preparation to benefit from it.
Fellowships of up to $23,000 are intended to support an academic year-long stay, and priority is given to students at the graduate level who need to spend time at Danish/American academic or research institutions. Grants, usually up to $5,000, are considered more suitable for shorter research visits, both on the graduate or post-doctoral level.
