Overview

This is the official DAAD scholarship database, providing information on DAAD's own scholarship programs and selected opportunities from other funding organizations. It is designed for international students and researchers looking for funding to study or research in Germany, specifically targeting applicants from developing countries.

Coverage

The database itself does not provide direct funding but lists various scholarships. The coverage for individual scholarships (e.g., tuition fees, living costs, travel) will vary and must be checked within each specific scholarship listing found through the database.

Eligibility

This database is open to international students and researchers, particularly those from developing countries. While there is generally no fixed age limit for DAAD scholarships, individual programs may have specific requirements regarding the time elapsed since the last degree was obtained. Applicants already in Germany or with dual citizenship may still be eligible, depending on the specific scholarship's terms. The programs listed are largely of an academic nature.

Requirements

Specific academic requirements, such as previous degrees, language proficiency, and other documents, will vary for each scholarship listed in the database. Applicants should refer to the individual scholarship announcements for detailed requirements. Programs that are exclusively for artists, do not require previous academic training, or only provide internships/practical training are generally not included in this database.

How to apply

To apply, you must use the DAAD scholarship database to search for specific opportunities that match your profile. Once you find a suitable scholarship, you should contact the person named in that program's description to inquire about the current terms and conditions before submitting your application. The database itself is a search tool, not a direct application portal.

Notes

The DAAD compiles information on funding opportunities from other organizations with care, but cannot guarantee its correctness or completeness. It is crucial to verify details directly with the respective funding organization. The database primarily lists programs for a sufficiently large target group, awarding a relevant number of scholarships (usually at least ten), and allowing for personal and direct application.
