Folk High School Scholarships

At International People’s College diversity is a core values. It is very important to us to be able to offer financial support through Folk High School scholarships to economically disadvantaged students. We want everybody to have the opportunity to attend our Danish Folk High School. However, International People’s College only has limited possibilities of supporting students financially. The only means at our disposal are donations made by our many and dear friends; this being former students, the organization Friends of IPC, beneficiaries who believe in the idea of International People’s College, fundraising events or income from our student led 2nd hand shop.

For an easy reference as to what Folk High School scholarships you can apply for see below. NB. The following scholar ships only count for full terms at IPC, and applicants will always need to cover the cost of administration fees, visa fees, airfare, and pocket money themselves.
