Overview
A DAAD scholarship for Costa Rican applicants pursuing advanced postgraduate study in music at a German state college of music, with funding beginning from October 2027.
Complete scholarship details
DAAD funds degree-based postgraduate study or eligible advanced non-degree study in music in Germany. The award provides EUR 992 per month, a travel allowance, a one-off study allowance and payments toward health, accident and personal liability insurance; a rent subsidy may also be available in qualifying circumstances. DAAD does not cover tuition fees, and scholarship selection does not itself guarantee admission to a host music college.
Eligibility requirements
Applicants should have a first university degree in music by the start of funding (or have exhausted training opportunities in their home country where no music degree exists), normally with the degree no more than six years old at the application deadline, and must not have resided in Germany for more than 15 months before the deadline. Applicants must meet the host institution's language requirements and submit the required academic and artistic application materials.
Tips for this scholarship
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
