Scan|Design Foundation Fellowship Exchange Programs

University of Wisconsin - Madison

The Scan|Design Foundation Fellowship Program at the University of Wisconsin - Madison was established in 2009 and the first Fellowship awards were given in 2010 to Universityof Wisconsin students for study in Denmark during the 2010 Spring Semester. Fellowships are meant to provide students from all academic fields of study with an opportunity to spend a full academic semester or year in Denmark.  Formal exchange agreements are in place between the University of Wisconsin and the following Danish Institutions:

-  University of Copenhagen. 

-  Aarhus University 

-  Copenhagen Business School (CBS)

-  Danish Technical Institute (DTU)

Additional institutions and programs will be added as the Fellowship program develops.

The Fellowships are awarded to both Graduate and undergraduate students for study in Denmark. Most Fellowships are for one semester of study. Several year-long programs at Danish Universities are currently under evaluation and academic year fellowships will be available for the 2010-2011 academic year. 

Fellowships are also awarded to both Graduate and undergraduate students from Denmark for study at the University of Wisconsin.  The first Fellowship awards will be given in 2010 for study in the US for the 2010-2011 academic year.

As part of the Fellowship program, the Foundation also provides an excursion budget and on-site coordinators in both Copenhagen and Madison to organize and lead several student directed cultural and experiential outings in the host country. The Foundation believes that the exchange experience is greatly enhanced by the ability to explore the host country.
