8. KAAD Scholarship Programme
If you are coming from a developing or emerging country and already have a university degree and professional experience, the Catholic Academic Exchange Service (KAAD) is another programme worth researching.
KAAD supports postgraduate studies and research in Germany and works particularly with applicants from Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America.
Depending on the programme, it can support master’s studies, PhD studies, postgraduate programmes and research stays.
There are additional eligibility requirements, including academic performance, professional experience and social or religious engagement.
9. DAAD Study Scholarships
The DAAD itself offers several scholarship programmes for international students and researchers.
One useful starting point is the DAAD Scholarship Database, because it allows you to search different funding opportunities based on your country, academic level and field of study.
The database currently lists numerous scholarship options rather than one single “DAAD scholarship.”
This is very important because many students search for one scholarship and stop when they do not qualify.
The better approach is to search the database for multiple programmes that match your profile.
