GRANTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
SU
The education is SU grant approved by the Agency for Higher Education and Science, so the students can apply for SU. This can be done via the SU website that you find here.
SU is 6.166 DKK per month for students not living with their parents and up to 3.066 DKK per month (depending on house income) for students living with their parents. In addition, the student is entitled for an extra SU-allowance of 2.407 DKK per month, as SAFD is a private school. (If living with parents this rate depends on house income).
Altogether students can receive up to 308.628 DKK over the 3 years program. In addition the students have the ability to record a SU loan at 3.155 DKK per month.
Presented rates are from 2019. Note that the rules depends on whether the student is a Danish citizen or not, read more about this here.
You can apply for SU when you have been admitted to SAFD, but no earlier than one month prior to study entry. If you are looking for a student loan, you can get the loan from the quarter after the age of 18. If you for example fills 18 years in April, you will receive student loans from 1 July. If you have previously signed up for another education, you must be unsubscribed there, before you can apply for SU with us.

Be aware that there is a longer turnaround time from ordering to receiving all the parts in the mail. This is due to the high security. Therefore, you may want to contact the nearest consular where you get NemID the same day. If you have problems with your NemID call the support department on tel (+45) 80 30 70 50.
