DAAD-ISAP Germany Scholarship Program

ISAP (Internationale Studien- und Ausbildungspartnerschaften) is a DAAD programme for project funding. The programme aims to build lasting cooperation between German and foreign higher education institutions (outside Erasmus programme countries) through exchange of students, lecturer exchange, and joint curriculum development, with the goal of developing and establishing international structures at the German university.

ISAP funds the mobility and stay of students and lecturers, supervision-related measures, planning and management meetings, preparation courses in Germany, and alumni measures. It supports bachelor students, master students, researchers, and professors. Applications are for DAAD project funding by eligible German higher education institutions across all fields of study.

For institutional applications, DAAD uses defined application submission deadlines through the DAAD portal. The DAAD portal closes at 24:00 (MEZ/MESZ) on the last application day. If the application cannot be submitted on time due to technical issues or force majeure, a deadline extension can be requested by email until the application deadline, with the issue described and documented (for example, by screenshots).
