Germany: DAAD Study Scholarships for Graduates of All Disciplines 2010 - 2011

Overview

The German Academic Exchange Service is one of the world's largest and most respected intermediary organisations in its field. Scores of students, teachers, researchers and scientists supported by the DAAD have been able to gain valuable experience abroad. However, there are also many other sides to the work of the DAAD.

Now Study Scholarships provide highly qualified individuals with an opportunity to do independent study in Germany or to complete a full Master's degree program at a German university.

Eligibility Requirements

Graduating seniors (fourth-year students in Canada), graduate students, and recent graduates who have completed their Bachelor's degrees no longer than six years before the application deadline are welcome to apply. Students who are in the first year of a full Master's degree program in Germany may also apply to fund their second year of the Master's programs.

Applicants in all academic fields are welcome to apply. For study in the fields of dentistry, medicine, pharmacy, or veterinary medicine, contact DAAD.

If you are a graduating senior (last year of undergraduate studies)or a graduate student, you must be enrolled full-time at an accredited university at the time of application. (Those who have already completed an undergraduate degree do not need to be currently enrolled.)


Applicants should be US or Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Foreign nationals must have studied at an accredited US or Canadian university for at least two years by the time of application.

At the time of application, Applicants must not have been resident in Germany for more than one year.

Applicants are requested to have a well-defined study project that makes a stay in Germany essential. Preference will be given to applicants who have been invited by a faculty member at a German university to study at a particular university department.

Applicants in the arts, humanities and social sciences should have a good command of German.

Applicants may not hold a DAAD grant and a grant from another German or German-American organization/German-Canadian organization concurrently for the same project. Prior recipients of a DAAD grant should contact DAAD New York before applying to determine their eligibility status.

Study scholarship holders are required to complete two courses per semester and obtain "Scheine" for them.

Terms of Award

Graduate study scholarships are granted for one academic year (10 months) with the possibility of a one-year extension for students completing a full degree program in Germany.

Scholarships must take place during the German academic year (October 2010 to July 2011).

A very limited number of scholarship holders who receive seven- to 24-month grants may be awarded a two-month language course grant.This language grant is decided upon by the independent selection committee and does not require a separate application

Monthly stipends are approximately €750. DAAD will cover health insurance and provide a flat rate subsidy for travel costs. In addition, limited funds are available for a rent subsidy and family allowance.
