FAQ

What are the requirements for a DAAD scholarship? Is there an age limit?

In addition to the general admission requirements, you have to meet further criteria for a scholarship.

For our study program, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) offers a limited number of scholarships to up to 10 highly qualified applicants from developing countries.

Please find the eligibility criteria for the scholarship on the DAAD's website. To apply for a scholarship you have to upload all required documents – including language certificates – within your online application by the application deadline.

Is there an age limit for applying for a DAAD scholarship?

In general, there is no age limit for applying for a scholarship. However, to be eligible for one of the DAAD scholarships, you should have obtained your last university degree no longer than 6 years ago.

Which additional documents do I have to submit for a DAAD scholarship application?

You will be required to submit additional documents for a DAAD scholarship. Please find the additional documents listed under application requirements on the DAAD's website.

Can I apply for a DAAD scholarship if I am a German or European Union citizen?

No. Unfortunately, EU citizens and American, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand citizens are not eligible for a DAAD scholarship.
