When they go to study abroad, Danish young people are often taken aback to discover that apart from the Nordic countries, most students, in Europe or elsewhere, do not benefit from the same conditions as them. Their congeners must manage without the “Uddannelsestotte” statens “(SU): the” state education support system “, established in 1970, is so institutionalized in Denmark that it is experienced as obvious by young people and their parents.
Young people are considered autonomous, adults, even before they are students, from their 18 e anniversary. They then affect a study allowance, replacing family allowances, the amount of which varies from 1,300 to 3,100 crowns (from 170 to 415 euros) depending on the income of parents.

In general, Danish young people finished the high school at 19, then have a year of caesura. About four out of five then embarked on higher education. The others are oriented towards vocational training. Most then leave the family home and can claim state aid.
The system works in the form of 70 “good monthly”, to be used throughout life (including for retraining students), in the form of an allowance. The young student can also benefit from a loan, that around a third party chooses to subscribe, at a rate of 4 % during the studies, then 1 % then, repayable within seven to fifteen years.
Unless you live with your parents, the level of aid is independent of their income. For the start of the 2022 school year, the maximum amount of the scholarship was set at 860 euros gross per month. Those who still live at home can receive up to 370 euros, provided that their parents earn less than 48,500 euros per year.
There are some conditions: undergoing training approved by the Danish agency for higher education and science; pass exams ; And above all, do not earn more than 2,400 euros per month. Because a majority of Danish young people work part -time, during the duration of their studies. The labor market – where the unemployment rate of young people is around 10 % – lends itself to it. Many companies offer student contracts.
In addition to the scholarship, Danish young people can therefore take out a loan from the State. It is up to them to choose the amount, provided that it does not exceed 440 euros per month. Researchers have the right to a monthly extension of 220 euros, while latecomers, who would not have completed their studies in time, can request an additional loan.
