Dartmouth College DAAD Master’s Scholarships

DAAD Study Scholarships, funded by DAAD, fund highly qualified students of all disciplines to participate in post-graduate study in Germany. Applicants are expected to have a well-defined study or research project that makes a stay in Germany essential.

Preference is given to applicants who have either been admitted to a German host institution or can prove that they have established contact with a host institution. Graduate programs in Germany may be taught in English, and German language ability is not necessarily a requirement.

Selection is guided by the eligibility requirements and stated preferences, including being admitted to or having established contact with a German host institution and, when applying to a program taught in German, having a good command of German.
