Scholarship overview

For over twenty years the DAAD has provided German universities with funds for the DAAD Prize, which honours outstanding achievements of international students (Bildungsausländer, not guest or exchange students).

The prize recognises excellent study performance together with notable social or intercultural commitment. It is not a research prize and not for doctoral theses. The call is issued once a year.
