Overview
The EU-funded STEP Scholarship Programme administered through DAAD is offering up to 130 scholarships for vulnerable Jordanian youth to complete two-year technical intermediate diploma programmes at partner institutions in Jordan. Eligible fields include renewable energy, IT, smart agriculture, hospitality and nursing.
Complete scholarship details
The programme funds technical intermediate diploma study for up to 24 months and a maximum of six semesters at Balqa Applied University, Al al-Bayt University and Tafila Technical University partner programmes. The official DAAD page lists tuition coverage, a EUR 100 monthly living allowance, up to EUR 90 travel allowance, a EUR 500 housing allowance upon application when studying outside the applicant's place of residence, a EUR 250 study allowance once per semester and a tablet device; DAAD notes that amounts are subject to change. Additional measures may include in-country internships or regional mobility and skills-development workshops. Applications opened 1 August 2026 and the official deadline is 30 August 2026; no clock time is stated.
Eligibility requirements
Applicants must be Jordanian citizens aged 18–21 at the application deadline, have completed Tawjihi in Jordan with at least a 65% average in an eligible BTEC/academic field, and be beneficiaries of the National Aid Fund, Zakat Fund or Tkiyet Um Ali. Applicants must use the Unified Admission Portal and then complete the STEP application, selecting at least two matching STEP programmes. Priority is given to applicants from southern and northern governorates, with others potentially considered on a reserve basis.
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.
