Tagea Brandt Rejselegat

Tagea Brandt Rejselegat

The Tagea Brandt Rejselegat (Travel Scholarship) is awarded annually, on the 17 March.

The scholarship was created and endowed by Danish industrialist Vilhelm Brandt (1854–1921) in honor of his wife, Tagea (1847–1882). The charter of 1922 provides that it shall be given to outstanding women in science, art, music, literature and theater arts (particularly in this case to actresses at the Royal Danish Theatre).

The intent is for the awardee to both broaden her horizons while promoting Danish society abroad, and to benefit from vacation and rest time.
