Complete scholarship details
The programme can support a Master's/postgraduate course leading to a qualification at a state or state-recognised German university, or an eligible complementary course without a degree. DAAD notes that work samples are submitted through its media database when requested.

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.
