The Education grant welcomes applications from all songwriters, producers, composers, and lyricists who are members of Koda.

The Education grant supports songwriters, producers, composers, and lyricists who wish to hone and develop their professional skills; this will typically take place at courses/institutions that are not eligible for support under the Danish Students’ Grants and Loans Scheme (SU).

It is not possible to apply for expenses already incurred, or projects that have been completed before the application deadline.

• A project description
• A budget
• An example of your music

The Training/Education grant is open for applications four times a year. The deadlines are:

24 June

25 November

Applications for the Education grant will be processed by the DPA Market committee. In 2021/2022, the committee comprises of:

Committee 1:
Viktoria Siff
Rasmus Hedeboe
Mattias Kolstrup

Committee 2:
Ihan Haydar
Laura Illeborg
Theis Andersen

If you are awarded a grant, you will receive a pledge for support; this pledge will remain valid for one year from the date on which your grant was awarded. If your project is not completed within a year, you can request an extension. Extensions are granted for a maximum of one year from the date of your request to have your pledge extended.

Getting a pledge means that the grant will be paid out when we receive the relevant documentation (receipts, agreement, invoices etc.). Please note that the grant does not cover daily allowances.

If you wish to use the grant for a different purpose than the one stated in your application, you must first get permission to do so from the grant committee.

You will receive a reply to your application approximately one month after the application deadline.
