DAAD Scholarships: Research Grants & Study Scholarships

Are you looking for possibilities to fund a study or research stay in Germany?

The DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) is Germany's largest scholarship-awarding organisation and runs several programs to support academic exchange between Germany and all parts of the world. These programs range from short-term exchanges for research or teaching purposes to doctoral scholarships lasting several years. The scholarships offered by the DAAD are awarded to younger university graduates from all academic disciplines as well as from the fields of music and art. Support is also available for young academics and scientists, university teachers and groups completing study visits under the guidance of a university teacher. This support is largely financed from public funds made available by the German Federal Foreign Office.

For more information please refer to the  DAAD ​ Information Centre Sydney website
