Scholarship Database

For your long-term stay in Germany, you can find information on DAAD funding opportunities for students, graduates, doctoral candidates and university lecturers as well as on offers from other selected funding organisations in the DAAD scholarship database.

Important note for students and researchers from Ukraine:
DAAD scholarship takes time. Most application deadlines for scholarships are between summer and fall. As a rule, funding does not begin until the winter semester of the following year.

Objective

The DAAD Helmut-Schmidt-Programme (known as Public Policy and Good Governance) supports future leaders from developing countries (see list of countries), who want to promote democracy and social justice in their home countries. The programme, which is funded by the German Federal Foreign Office, offers the chance to acquire a Master’s degree in Master programmes of particular relevance for the social, political and economic development in the students’ countries of origin. In the light of the principles of Good Governance, highly qualified graduates with a first academic degree are being educated in political science, law, economics and administration and prepared for future leading positions in their home countries.
