DAAD-EPOS Scholarships

Since the very beginning of the MADM programme in 2000, a limited number of DAAD-scholarships within the DAAD programme "Development-Related Postgraduate Courses" (Entwicklungsbezogene Postgraduiertenstudiengänge, EPOS) has been available for MADM participants from developing countries. For information of the DAAD programme please look at the respective section of the DAAD website. For further information about the prerequisites, please follow the link to the section "Application requirements". For the DAAD application form (to be submitted to the IEE), please click here.

Application deadline for these scholarships (and the corresponding course application) has expired. Please refrain from requests for exceptional late submissions. New scholarship applications for the intake 2020-2022 can be submitted from end of February 2019. 

DAAD may require applicants from specific coutries (currently Cameroon) to submit applications also via the German embassy.
Please check the DAAD website (link given above) for any updates and deadlines for these specific cases!
The online application via the MADM application plattform needs to be submitted in addition.

Other Scholarship Options

Apart from DAAD, other organisations in Germany also provide support opportunities for foreign members of institutions of higher education. The DAAD scholarship database offers information not only on various kinds of DAAD funding for foreign students, graduates and postdocs but also on funding offered by other selected organisations.

Some of these organisations are also listet below; a few of them regularly support participants of the MADM.

Applicants are requested to contact these institutions directly for further information but keep us informed about any scholarship applications. Some of the institutions are represented abroad. If there is an office in your country, you should first contact it there. Please get the addresses from German embassies.

The course application deadline for students who are planning to apply for scholarships of other donor organisations individually is December 31st, 2017 at the Institute of Development Research and Development Policy.

Applications via other scholarship organisations (DAAD regional scholarship schemes, political foundations etc.) are subject to the individual deadlines of these organizations and will be conducted on an individual basis.
