Ranganatha Rajagopal, a former employee at the Department of Plant Physiology, now part of the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, has donated a sum of money to the department in honor of former professor Poul Larsen, who was his supervisor at the University of Bergen.

The following are eligible to apply for support from the donation:

Current full degree Molecular Biology and Molecular Medicine students with a non-Danish ethnic background

Academically engaged students at the bachelor’s or master’s level may apply for scholarships of up to DKK 70,000 annually, with a possible extension for one year if the study plan is followed. The upper annual limit for students receiving support from the Danish State Educational Grant (SU) is DKK 35,000.
