The Cayx Grant belongs to The Foundation of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and Prince Henrik but is managed by The Royal Academy.
In 2019, The Foundation of Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik will give one or more grants within the total amount of up to 200.000 Danish Kroner to humanistic studies in France. Applicants should have a thorough knowledge of French and their studies or research should have a focus on subjects or fields related to France.
The grant will mainly be given to humanistic studies, which therefore will be prioritized over courses in the field of management, finance, and business. Students attending a bachelor’s degree programme will not be taken into consideration.
Please note that in 2023, the board of trustees will prioritize students with a finished master's degree.
Only applications with departure after July 1st 2023 will be taken into consideration
For further information, see the website of The Danish Royal House.
Next deadline for applications is April 1st, 2024.
