Upcoming Deadlines
DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) - Scholarships for graduate study in Germany
Date and Time
Friday, October 31, 2025
Description
Highly qualified final year undergraduate students or those who have received an undergraduate degree of all disciplines may apply for the DAAD Study Scholarship for a full Master’s degree program at a State or State-recognized university in Germany or for a study at a German university as part of a postgraduate or Master’s degree program completed in the home country.
Eligibility requirements:
- Students in their last year of undergraduate studies at an accredited US or Canadian university.
- US or Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
- Foreign nationals who live in the USA or in Canada by the time of application deadline are eligible, if your last degree was obtained in the US/Canada, or you will have received a degree in the US/Canada before your scholarship starts. All other foreign nationals may need to apply via a different DAAD office.
- Recent BA/BS or MA/MS graduates who completed their last degree no longer than 6 years ago.
- Applicants may not have been living in Germany for more than 15 consecutive months by the time of application deadline.
Funding period:
For a postgraduate or Master’s degree completed in Germany: between 10 and 24 months, depending on the length of the chosen study program.
- Applicants who will be starting a 2-year Master’s program in Germany: Please state the entire period for which you wish to apply for funding in your application. For example, if you are planning a 2-year degree program, you must directly indicate two years as the desired scholarship duration in your application. After the first year of study, your academic achievements will be assessed in a further funding procedure. If this shows that you will successfully complete your program within a reasonable period of time, the scholarship will continue as planned.
- Applicants who are applying only for the first year of a Master’s program or those who will be starting a 1 year Master's program in Germany: an extension is not possible.
- The scholarship usually begins on 1st October of the following year, or earlier if you take a German language course prior to the study programme.
