Overview

KAAD describes its scholarship work as three programmes under “KAAD: Scholarships.” Scholarship Programme 1 includes the Invitation Programme (with focus countries), the In-country Programme for Master’s studies in the home country at fifteen locations in eight countries, and the Third-country Programme for Master’s studies in a selected third country. KAAD’s Eastern Europe Programme supports PhD and Master’s programmes and shorter study and research stays in Germany.

Scholarship Programme 1 is aimed at postgraduates and people with proven professional experience who are usually invited to Germany for postgraduate studies or research stays (Invitation Programme). It also includes Master’s studies in the home country through the In-country Programme across listed locations in Ethiopia, Ghana, Guatemala, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Peru, and Zimbabwe, and Master’s studies in selected third-country locations (with examples given for students from Myanmar studying in Bangkok/Thailand).

Scholarship Programme 2 supports students from countries of the Global South who are already studying for a PhD or Master’s degree in Germany. The Catholic University Chaplaincies have the right to propose suitable applicants. The page also indicates that the Eastern Europe Programme operates in cooperation with partner committees for PhD and Master’s programmes and shorter study and research stays in Germany.

It also does not provide details on funding type, amounts, or whether support covers specific cost categories.
