The Danish Sisterhood of America is very proud of its Scholarship and Grants Programs, which are available to members of the Danish Sisterhood and their children, regardless of age.

Our scholarships and grants are made possible through generous endowments and memorial funds and are being supplemented by donations from individual members, lodges, and districts of the National Sisterhood. No membership dues are used to support these scholarships.

At the time our scholarship and grant funds were established, the donors – all with strong ties to the Danish Sisterhood – made stipulations regarding eligibility to which we are legally bound to adhere.

The longevity of the scholarship program is dependent upon investment returns as well as donations. Such donations are crucial to the program’s continuance – and are very much appreciated.
