daad phd scholarships 2023

DAAD In-Country/In-Region Masters/PhD Scholarship Programme 2023/2024 for Sub-Saharan African students.

Application Deadline: July 11, 2023

The DAAD awards funding to Sub-Saharan African students for full-time Master or PhD degrees in their home country or in another Sub-Saharan African country as part of its In-Country/In-Region Scholarship Programme. The programme promotes the mobility of researchers between Sub-Saharan African countries and capacity building at Sub-Saharan African universities.

Master and PhD scholarships in this programme are awarded for preselected degree programmes in development-related and SDG-oriented fields at preselected Sub-Saharan African institutions. Scholarships are awarded to Sub-Saharan African students for study and research in their home country (In-Country) or in another Sub-Saharan African country (In-Region).

The programme aims at fostering strong, internationally oriented higher education systems in Sub-Saharan Africa with the capacity to contribute to sustainable development. To this end, scholarships are granted for development-related Master or doctoral studies for individuals who plan to pursue a career in teaching and / or research at a higher education institution in Sub-Saharan Africa. By training future academic and professional leaders, the programme contributes to the following long-term impacts:

• Qualified professionals’ involvement in the solution of development-related problems in Sub-Saharan Africa
• Graduates strengthening education and research in Sub-Saharan Africa
• Structural strengthening and regional networking of partner institutions and partner universities

To achieve these long-term impacts, the following outcomes have been formulated as programme objectives: Programme objective 1: Graduates have qualified to take over responsible positions in their, or for their, region of origin Programme objective 2: The participation of women and underprivileged groups is reinforced Programme objective 3: Organizational, financial and personal capacities of partner institutions are strengthened

As part of the „In-Country/In-Region Scholarship Programme“ DAAD offers scholarships for PhD and Master studies. The programme is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and aims at university staff in the first line, without neglecting the public sector demand of academically trained personnel.

Requirements

• The target group for scholarships are graduates and postgraduates from Sub-Saharan Africa with a first academic degree if applying for a Master’s programme, or with a Master’s degree if applying for a doctoral programme who want to pursue Master’s or PhD courses in their home country (so called In-Country scholarships) or in another Sub-Saharan African country (In-Region scholarships).
• Female applicants and candidates from less privileged regions or groups are especially encouraged to participate in the programme.

Hi. Thanks for opening this sub-topic.  I also aim to apply for PhD grant if I can manage to prepare my documents in a few days, hopefully. I am from Turkey and my subject area is psychology/clinical psychology.  I wish good luck to everyone also!

Good luck! The application for American students just closed on November 4th. Hope you're able to get everything submitted in time! If I can ask, why are you hoping to study in Germany?

16 minutes ago, esraC said: Hi!  For Turkey it says the deadline is on 15th november so I am currently working on to finish my research proposal and other rather easy documents. I said rather easy because I am familiar with DAAD scholarships as previously I applied for a short-term research grant - now aim for phd funding.  I want to study in Germany because I did my previous research stay during my masters there and I have already a network there What about you? 

Nice! I participated in the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange last year. It's an international fellowship that gave me the chance to live study and intern in Germany. I got a chance to visit my target university and experience what higher education is like there. I also built a solid network there, so needless to say I would love to go back! I'm planning on pursuing a Masters in Human Computer Interaction.

Hello! Not sure if it changes depending on the region, I'm from South America and received the link on 28th of October, the deadline for submission being 7th of November.

Someone on Reddit made this spreadsheet to keep track of acceptances and deadlines throughout this fellowship cycle. Feel free to participate if you want!

Hi, hope everyone is doing fine. Ive applied for PhD grant for 23-24 AY. My Masters degree GPA is 4.00, I have several study and work abroad experiences, I am a former Fulbright scholar, and I already got a supervisor in Germany. What do u think the chance of my application being successful in DAAD? Thank you.

Noone is an authority here, I guess, but as someone who has been awarded with 2 DAAD scholarships before, I think your chances are quite high.  Fingers crossed! I also applied for my third scholarship, this time for PhD. I wish luck for both of us.

And also, I think our  profiles are quite similar. I also have previous scholarships (not Fullbright tho), high grades, previous abroad experiences as well as a supervisor in Germany waiting for me.  let's hope for the best! 

Anyone from Postgraduate Studies in the Field of Architecture heard back or had a status update? Mine is still paper copies received, they had previously written the selection would be finished in January.

i'm also applying for the same funding. mine also says paper copies received, no more infos. but if i remember correctly from checking last few years' forums, it might take some time (february/march), so let's be patient i guess:)

Wow that quick? I guess they evaluate subject applications quicker than others. I imagine those of us applying for the general study scholarship are still gonna be waiting a while. In any case, good luck! Hope you end up getting it!

thanks for the update, got really nervous now. good luck to you too!

when do u think we will hear from DAAD Research & Doctoral grant? i applied back in august. my status changed to paper copies received. I hope ill get this scholarship and create some content about it. there is none.

Hi Esra, did you hear from DAAD? all the best for u too, btw

Hi, no unfortunately it is still on "paper copies received".  I am not so sure but I think we'll hear the result earliest by end of march - first week of april but I hope we both can get a positive result as soon as possible. Fingers crossed! 

Do u remember the gap between you got the result and arrived in germany last time u got a daad scholarship?

also, do u know if we are required to be interviewed before selection?

Hey everyone, sadly, I got a rejection letter. I had applied to the postgraduate studies in the field of architecture scholarship from Brazil.

Makes me wish I knew the reason of the rejection... I wasn't totally confident but had a good GPA, three years of internship experience while studying, did research for around two years also while studying and had already participated in some international events, some even having DAAD as a partner. I also had a letter from a professor from Germany stating I was part of the winning group of a summer school organized by a university from Germany and the other from the USA.

Even though I know this isn't the end, (it just means things will be a bit harder) I am now worried my qualifications aren't enough to be admitted to the universities I had in mind in Germany. Maybe the fact that I didn't have yet an admission letter is what disqualified me somewhat.

I wish you all the best and all luck

Hi,  Last time I applied the deadline was again 15th Novembe and I got the official results in early april.  But regarding interview ı am not sure and I also would like to know because earlier I applied for a short term research grant and that did not require an interview but regarding phd scholarship I heard inconsistent reports... Maybe depends on the country? I dont know 

phd-urban-design-2023

My status also changed to "initial funding", "selection made". I have a tab for "consent processing medical data", do you have the same tab with forum to download? 

I am waiting for final answer.

Thank you. I applied for a doctoral research grant which takes 4 years, so our conditions might not be similar. Fingers crossed. Please, lmk if u receive any updates, i will do so too.
