Scholarship for Students Breaking The Mold

A person breaking the mold is a person that is breaking with his or her social heritage and is following another pattern than what would be expected. Thus it is a person not following the linear pattern of his or her background.

For instance it could be a person who breaks free from a stressful childhood and creates a better life for him- or herself. Another example could be a person choosing to follow a totally different path compared to the rest of that person’s family. Thus, it can be any person breaking through any given limitations or set social patterns.

We at Lånio.dk want to support and encourage young people to have unbridled ambition. We want to honor tenacity, purposefulness, and a strong belief in the future. We are happy to announce our scholarship of 5,000 DKK to support a dedicated nordic student that is breaking the mold.

These are the prerequisites that must be met to be eligible for the scholarship. The scholarship is open to students from all nordic countries: Denmark, Greenland, Faroe Islands, Finland, Iceland, Norway or Sweden.
