Scholarships Germany
Objective
Study scholarships are only awarded to excellently-qualified graduates or young university teachers holding a first degree in the field of law, who are appropriately involved in the Law Department at their university. They will have opportunities to complete a postgraduate or Master’s degree course at a German university and to gain a degree in Germany (Master’s/Diplom).
Duration
Depending on the length of the chosen degree course or study project, the study scholarship will be awarded for between 10 and 24 months. Initially, scholarships are awarded for one academic year and can be extended for students with good study achievements to cover the full length of the chosen degree course.
Value
* The DAAD will pay a monthly award of 750 euros plus travel and luggage costs and a health insurance allowance.
* Tuition fees cannot be paid by the DAAD.
Requirements
*Applications for DAAD study scholarships are open to excellently-qualified graduates who, at the latest when they commence their scholarship-supported studies, hold a first degree (Bachelor’s, Diplom or comparable academic degree). No more than six years should generally have passed between the time when they gained their degree and the time of this application.
*Besides previous academic achievements, the most important selection criterion is a convincing presentation of the applicant’s academic and personal reasons for the planned study project in Germany.
* Applications must either include the notification of admission issued by the German host institution for the desired degree course, or, if this is not the case, then the notification of admission must be presented to the DAAD before the scholarship-supported studies begin. The scholarship award letter from the DAAD only becomes effective once the holder has been admitted to studies. If the degree programme includes a several month long stay abroad, funding for this stay abroad will generally only be considered if it takes place in an EU Country (not in the home country) and lasts a maximum of 6 months and covers a maximum of 25% of the scholarship term.
*Good German language skills are generally a requirement for studying in Germany. Exceptions are possible when scholarship holders are enrolled in degree courses which are instructed in English. The DAAD may fund attendance of a German language course at a language school in Germany before the scholarship-supported studies begin. This is free of charge to the scholarship holder.
*Applicants who have been resident in Germany for longer than one year at the time of application cannot be considered.
Scholarship deadline: 15th October each year
For details on application papers, please contact DAAD Information Center.
The fellowships are offered annually through the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany.
The fellowships are announced between June and August each year, after which application forms and information leaflets are made available by the embassy or the DAAD Information Center. The complete application has to be at the embassy around mid October (check website for announcement at “DAAD Newsflash”). The fellowships are initially granted for one year (preceded by a six-month language course if appropriate). The scholarship may be extended if the project undertaken by the scholarship holder makes a prolonged stay necessary, provided good progress has been made. The fellowships are open to exellently-qualified graduates from universities, faculty members and researchers at research institutes of national importance.
