About the DAAD Scholarships for Developing Countries

DAAD scholarships are aimed primarily at graduates, doctoral students and postdocs and are awarded for study and research visits to universities and non-university research institutions in Germany.

DAAD awards Research Grants – Short-Term Grants for PhD students and postdocs and Research Grants – One-Year Grants for Doctoral Candidates from almost all countries of origin. Grants for a full doctoral programme in Germany are offered primarily to applicants from developing and threshold countries (based on the OECD-DAC list). Scholarships for a masters degree in Germany are available, in particular, for persons from industrial countries.

The DAAD maintains a full database of opportunities on their official website.
