KAAD Scholarships In Germany For International Students

Study in Germany on this fully funded Scholarship. ​The Catholic Academic Exchange Service (KAAD) is the scholarship institution of the German Catholic Church for post-graduate students and scientists from (developing) countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Near and Middle East, as well as Eastern and Southeastern Europe. KAAD supportsscholars in form of scholarships and educational programs and offers spiritual and personal assistance in view of future multiplying functions students will have in their home countries.

Scholarship Program
These scholarships are available for  Masters and PhD studies. 

Study to be taken in : Germany 

Field of Study 
There is no specific subject-preference. However, the selection board has often given  preference to courses and subjects that they felt to be of significance for the home country of the applicant. This holds true especially for subjects of PhD-theses. There is  therefore a certain leaning towards “development oriented” studies – this does  however not mean that other fields (cultural, philosophic, linguistic, etc.) can not be of significance for a country and are ruled out.

Applicants need to show significant social and religious commitment. This can be  activities in the church (at the university chaplaincies, in youth work, in parishes, in social groups, Small Christian Communities, spiritual associations, etc.) and/or in civil  society (voluntary work in awareness raising, advocacy, social action, community health, women groups, etc.). 

Do KAAD-scholars need to know the German language?
All beneficiaries of KAAD-scholarships (except for in-country-scholars) need to know German. This is especially important for scholars whose study programme includes  German (some Master programmes are bilingual German/English; some PhD-study  programmes include oral exams in German). But even for scholars whose studies are  entirely in English, KAAD emphasizes knowledge of the German language.

Application Procedure
How to Apply? 
The method of application is online. The first request is placed through filling an online questionnaire on the application webpage www.kaad-application.de. In the course of the application process, more  documents need to be provided by the applicant and the KAAD-Partner-Committees  are involved.
If the pre-selection process has been positive for the applicant, the application is passed  on to an independent selection board, which sits twice per year (in March and in September).
