Opportunities from DAAD Jordan — STEP Scholarship Scheme

STEP is funded by the European Union and implemented for this scholarship component by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), within a wider project with Enabel. Up to 130 vulnerable Jordanian youth can pursue two-year Intermediate Technical Diploma study beginning in the first semester of 2026/27. Covered fields are Information Technology, Renewable Energy, Smart Agriculture, Hospitality and Nursing at Al-Balqa Applied University, Al al-Bayt University and Tafila Technical University. The official Ministry announcement describes the award as fully funded; the public call does not itemize a per-student cash amount, so none is invented.

Targeted at young Jordanians from less advantaged or vulnerable groups. Women and persons with disabilities are particularly encouraged to apply, and priority is given to applicants from northern and southern governorates. Applicants must first apply through Jordan's Unified Admission Portal and include at least two STEP-covered programmes at partner universities among their choices before completing the STEP scholarship application.
