Germany: DAAD Scholarships for US or Canadian citizens to do independent study and complete Master's degree in Germany

Overview

These scholarships aim to provide highly qualified students in the fields of fine art, design, film, music, choreography and architecture with an opportunity to complete a program of additional studies, with or without earning a formal degree, at a German institute of higher education.

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 North American university at the time of application. (Those who have already completed an undergraduate degree do not need to be currently enrolled.)

Recent graduates should have received their Bachelor's degrees no longer than six years before the application deadline.

Recent graduates who are currently in Germany (for no longer than one year at the time of application) are also eligible to apply.

Applicants should be US or Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Foreign nationals are eligible if they have been full-time students at an accredited US or Canadian University for at least two years at the time of application.

At the time of application, applicants may not be living in Germany for a period of more than one year.

Applicants for Master's programs should have a study proposal explaining why a particular program has been chosen and how it will further the applicant's educational and career goals. Because German university deadlines are later than our deadline, you may not have yet been admitted to a German university; however, any proven contact that you have attempted with a German host institution can be submitted as evidence of contact.

Applicants for independent study are expected to have a well-defined study or research project that makes a stay in Germany essential and should have an invitation from an academic partner at a German university or research institution. Scholarship recipients are required to complete two courses per semester and obtain "Scheine" (certificates of credit) for them.

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.


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 1, 2011 to July 31, 2012).

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 (US East: €775 / West: €1025; Canada East: €925 / West: €1,300). In addition, limited funds are available for a rent subsidy and family allowance.
