Support for students' living costs is awarded by the State Educational Grant and Loan Scheme (Danish acronym: SU), a system managed by the Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science in collaboration with the educational institutions and under the auspices of the Ministry of Higher Education and Science. Foreign citizens must fulfil specific conditions in order to be granted equal status with Danish citizens and receive state educational grant (SU).
