DAAD Scholarship Opportunity

The Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD), supports graduating seniors and graduate students for study or research in Germany in a broad range of academic disciplines. For Study Scholarships and Research Scholarships Indiana University enjoys special status with DAAD and each year applicants from IU receive extra consideration. Typically up to four students are selected from IU for these scholarships. Direct any questions to Shawn Reynolds in the Office of the Vice President for International Affairs. (See contact information below.)

Program Descriptions:

• Study Scholarships are available to highly qualified graduating seniors (fourth-year students in Canada), recent graduates and graduate students of all disciplines to do independent study in Germany or to complete a full Master's degree. The Study Scholarship is for 10 months and must take place during the German academic year (October 1, 2010 to July 31, 2011). Students in degree-granting courses in Germany may receive an extension of up to one year for Master's courses. All scholarship holders must take courses at a German university.
• Research Scholarships are available to highly qualified PhD candidates, and post-doctoral researchers for research at universities or institutes in Germany. Individuals wishing to complete a doctoral program in Germany should also apply for a Research Grant which can be extended up to three years. Young post-doctoral researchers and assistant professors with less than two years of teaching experience are also encouraged to apply. All academic disciplines are eligible. Research grants can either be short-term (1 - 6 months) or long-term (7 - 10 months). Short-term grants must occur between June 1, 2010 and January 31, 2011. Long-term grants must occur within the time frame of the German academic year (October 1, 2010 to July 31, 2011).
