The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) study scholarships are awarded to graduating seniors and graduate students for study in Germany, or to complete a postgraduate or master’s degree course and obtain a degree from a German higher education institution. DAAD research grants are awarded primarily to highly qualified PhD candidates who are early in their academic/professional careers or to individuals wishing to earn a doctoral degree in Germany.
