Application Instructions DAAD Scholarship program:
If you have no private financial resources or cannot obtain a scholarship from your government, company or an international organisation, you may apply for a DAAD scholarship. DAAD application forms are available on the DAAD website .
Applications have to be sent to the respective course directly! Please refer to their respective websites for the application procedure (e.g. online application), for the application deadline and the documents to be submitted.
Exception:
Applications from Cameroon and Nigeria must be submitted via the German Embassy.
Applications sent via e-mail to the DAAD cannot be considered during the selection process.
Applicants are asked to state whether they are able to pay for cost of living expenses and their studies in Germany themselves or whether they can only complete the postgraduate course with financial support from a DAAD scholarship. Qualified applicants for whom self-financing is possible, have a good chance of being accepted by a postgraduate course.
Please note: Scholarships cannot be awarded without the official DAAD application form.
Many courses, however, have their own forms, which must be submitted in addition to the
DAAD Scholarship application form (see details under course descriptions).
