Scholarships
Denmark offers three main types of scholarships for international students. The Erasmus Mundus programme is open to both EU/EEA and non-EU/EAA students.

The courses are offered jointly by a Danish institution and another European university or college. These scholarships, which are often fully funded, cover tuition, a monthly living stipend, travel, and installation costs, and require students to apply directly to the specific program they are interested in. Even Danish universities receive a limited number of government scholarships each year to fund highly qualified full-degree students from non-EU/EEA countries and Switzerland. Other private scholarships include the Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation Scholarship, JN Tata Endowment Loan Scholarships and the JN Tata Endowment Loan Scholarships among many others.
In order to be eligible for a Danish government scholarship, you must be - a citizen of a country outside the EU, the European Economic Area or Switzerland, enrolled in a full degree higher education programme and granted a time-limited residence permit in Denmark due to education
Denmark hosts many Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's programs, which are delivered by partnerships of at least three universities from three different countries, and scholarships cover tuition, a monthly living allowance, and travel costs.
There are also university-specific and program specific scholarships in universities like
Aalborg University: Offers a national student scholarship for master's students, as well as an international student scholarship covering 100% of tuition and providing a monthly stipend.
Aarhus University: Offers Danish state scholarships for master's students.
Copenhagen Business School (CBS): Provides 25 scholarships annually for international master's students

AdmitAbroad was very helpful with GRE and TOEFL. I particularly enjoyed the English speaking and basically the English (verbal) part of the GRE & TOEFL. Other than that they really helped me put all my work I have done for the past 4 years such that it would be presentable enough to get me through the door so it was a great experience.
