Ivalo & Minik Fonden has just awarded four grants with a total value of DKK 200,000. In the coming months, the four recipients will strengthen their knowledge and skills through study programs in Australia, Switzerland, and Norway.
Chairman of the board of Ivalo & Minik Fonden, Minik Rosing, is delighted that the foundation once again has the opportunity to support young Greenlanders in their ambitions to pursue education abroad.
“It is always a great pleasure to see how our grant recipients seize the opportunity to develop themselves in new environments. They return home with experiences and perspectives that strengthen both themselves and our society. It is an investment in knowledge, courage and the future,” he says.
The foundation’s ability to once again send young Greenlanders out into the world is made possible by the continued contributions from Royal Arctic Line, NunaFonden, and GrønlandsBANKEN Business Fund. Their commitment makes it possible to provide financial support to students in pursuit of their educational dreams.
“We are deeply grateful for the support we receive. It is not only a contribution to each individual grant recipient but also a contribution to developing our society as a whole,” emphasizes Minik Rosing.
The Ivalo & Minik Foundation awards grants twice a year to Greenlanders planning study stays abroad. The next application deadline is 15 February 2026, and the board encourages all education-minded Greenlanders to submit their applications.
