All Reviews
I learned a lot about myself while abroad. I wish the program would have been longer, was definitely worthwhile. A student - University of Minnesota - Twin Cities View Entire Review
Yes A student - University of Colorado - Boulder View Entire Review
I learned how different Denmark is from America, and in a lot of ways I saw it as better. It was such a worthwhile experience being able to explore a new city on my own while still having my housing taken care of and taking a class. A student - Longwood University View Entire Review
I gained knowledge from my class, but the experience itself was ultimately average at best. A student - Goucher College View Entire Review
A more global perspective on my life and my work. A student - Lamar University View Entire Review
I definitely gained some independence! The program leaves you a lot of time on your own, and you really have to take charge of yourself and decide how you want to use your time. It was absolutely worthwhile. Morgan J - University of Tulsa View Entire Review
With changing health care in America, it was a great experience to be able to experience socialized health care in Europe for comparison purposes. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review

New view on the world. Very worthwhile Michael L - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned how vastly different the philosophies of different countries can be in terms of government and social classes. Hannah C - Trinity University View Entire Review
I learned how to live on my own with other American students. Because it was an American program, I got to know other Americans and learn about the Danish culture with them. Unfortunately I did not have a chance to meet that many other Danish people because of the program itself. I only picked this program because I've always wa... swallowed.in.the.sea7 - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I walked away with a much stronger insight into a different culture that so very clearly constructs the society around it. It was very worthwhile Vanessa - Parsons School of Design View Entire Review
You learn a lot about yourself and whatever class(es) you take. Don't be afraid to try new things. Madeline - SUNY - Albany View Entire Review
It was extremely worthwhile. Not only did I learn the material from the course I was taking, but I learned how to be independent and live on my own. I had to learn to budget money, manage things for myself in a foreign country, and branch out and meet new people. It was an experience you would not be able to get elsewhere. A student - Colgate University View Entire Review
I gained an understanding of Denmark as well as some professions related to my future profession. It was worthwhile. Sara - University of Wisconsin - Madison View Entire Review
get out of your comfort zone taylor n - Trinity University View Entire Review
I genuinely feel like my whole view on the world and other people has been opened up. It was so amazing meeting people I would have never known otherwise, and getting to know how every person is cool and unique in their own way. calhan h - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review

I gained knowledge on Danish healthcare system as well as the European union. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned how to be independent and gained insight into how other people live. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
New perspectives, close Danish friends. It was very worthwhile. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I gained confidence about living on my own, and learned a lot about the Danish and Netherlands culture and how it differs from my own. It was definitely worthwhile and awesome. While 6 weeks wasn't very long and I wish I had time to do some other things, it was a good length of time and allowed time for me to travel to other cit...

I really loved going abroad because I went on my own and I was able to become more involved with other people and immerse myself in the culture. I was also able to meet other awesome people from other parts of the US that I have kept in touch with after I came back. Zarina M - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review

DIS - Study Abroad Scholarships
This merit-based award honors a beloved former DIS faculty member, Jacob Buksti, who passed away in 2016. Jacob built a strong legacy in modern Danish politics and made a deep impact on the hundreds of DIS students he taught from 2003 to 2016. Jacob served the Danish Social Democratic Party as a parliamentarian, party spokesperson, and Minister of Transportation during an impressive political career, and he was deeply devoted to sharing his work and passion with U.S. students at DIS. He loved being a politician and, even more than the theories and policy study that fueled his coursework, was passionate about the living, breathing game of European domestic and international politics. We offer this scholarship of up to $10,000 each semester to a deserving DIS Copenhagen or DIS Stockholm student who exhibits: A major in political science, international relations, government, public policy, economics, or a related field Passion about pursuing a career in politics An understanding of the work it takes to be actively engaged to advance yourself and your mission, interest in European/EU politics, and awareness that effective politics has many avenues A high GPA, strong personal essay, and recommendation from a professor or academic advisor Note: summer awards are not offered for this scholarship at this time.
