Scholarships For Students From Developing Nations Offered By The DAAD MIPLC 2024–2025 – Germany

 The DAAD encourages the training of specialists from developing and recently industrialized nations through its postgraduate study programs that are development-oriented. The sustainable growth of their nations depends greatly on highly qualified local experts who have connections with foreign partners. They are the best assurance of a brighter future with fewer cases of poverty, more opportunities for education, and better health for all. Foreign graduates from developing and newly industrialized nations who have at least two years of professional experience and a bachelor's degree in any field are eligible to apply for scholarships that will allow them to pursue a master's or postgraduate degree at a state-recognized German university, or in exceptional circumstances, a doctoral degree. This will allow them to earn a degree from a German university (Master's/PhD).
