Funding for a Master's degree in Germany in a variety of fields

DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst, or German Academic Exchange Service) Study Scholarships provide highly qualified individuals with an opportunity to complete a full Master’s degree program at a German university, in nearly any field.

Graduating seniors, graduate students, and recent graduates who have completed their Bachelor’s degrees no longer than six years before the application deadline are welcome to apply. Students who are in the first year of a full Master’s degree program in Germany may also apply to fund their second year of the Master’s program. Graduating seniors and graduate students must be enrolled full-time at an accredited North American university at the time of application, although those who have already completed an undergraduate degree do not need to be currently enrolled.

Applicants should be citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. or Canada. Foreign nationals are eligible if they have been full-time students at an accredited U.S. or Canadian university for at least two years at the time of application.

Applicants are expected to have a well-defined study plan that makes a stay in Germany essential. For a list of eligible courses of study, see here. This DAAD award provides payment of course fees, tuition/college fees, a monthly stipend and rent allowance, travel subsidy, and an allowance for a German language course during the scholarship period.
