By the way is it still silent in Uzbekistan? It is already the middle of April
Nothing here. Some status changes, some people got their status lost, i.e., just empty space, some people got their "funding start" and "funding end" dates changed. But no clear answer. I called German Embassy and talked to a responsible person for Scholarships, but she is rude, mean and does not have any proper tone of talking to people. So did not get any answers from her too. Last year they announced it on April 3, but this year it's too weird.
I'm just still waiting. Wish us patience and luck) -

Hey everybody, I've just found this forum! Congratulations to everyone else who has received an award
I'm from the US and I've been awarded a DAAD scholarship for a two-year MA. My situation has become a little complicated for a couple reasons-- I was offered a job in Hamburg before receiving the scholarship, and I also haven't applied to my host universities yet because 1) the application windows just opened up and 2) because I thought I wouldn't get the scholarship anyway and would probably just take the job. My first choice program on the application was in Erfurt and my second choice was in Kiel.
Now that I've been awarded the scholarship AND gotten the job (which is amazing but kinda overwhelming), my second choice uni is looking more attractive to me. It's significantly closer to Hamburg, which would mean I'd be able to continue working at this company in some capacity (albeit as a mini-job or whatever works best with the scholarship constraints). The job is relevant to my masters program and doing both over the next two years would ultimately put me in a better situation to apply for jobs, etc when I'm done. However, my concern is that in my acceptance letter, it says that I have to be accepted to Erfurt to officially receive the scholarship (though I originally thought that going to any of my three uni options would be possible).
So my questions are, is anybody else considering attending a different program than the one they originally listed as their first choice? Has anyone else not officially been accepted into their university programs yet? And what do you guys think my chances are of getting the DAAD to approve both an institution change and a small side job? (Or am I deluded? haha)
SO basically, when you are awarded with the scholarship, you can choose to study ANY of German universities, as long as you follow the program/course of Masters you indicated as an intended degree to obtain. By this I mean, if you got acceptance letter from TU Dortmund for your MA degree in Management, but you chose MA in Management in TU Munich, TU Berlin and TU Frankfurt as your 3 desired universities in your application, you still have a right to go to TU Dortmund.
SO the scholarship does not limit you to those 3 universities U indicated in ur application (this is what I heard from regional DAAD Coordinator, btw, I am from Uzbekistan). And finally, CONGRATZ for double achievement! Hope you will decide wisely and, most importantly, choose the one from which you can take the most! All the best! -

I disagree that your status can turn to rejection after funding. Except there is something fraudulent discovered later in the application or its an outright lie from the poster
I didn't make it up from my mind, buddy. I am writing what people experienced. it was also noted in this forum earlier. Just FYI

Hello everyone. I am new to the forum. I am an applicant from Kyrgyzstan. On april 5 my status changed from selection made to funding. However, the official letter has not been sent yet. does anyone else have the same case? I dont know if it is normal that I got no notification neither was anything uploaded to my portal except for change in status. does anyone know if they normally send congrats letter or smth like that later ?? Not immediately after change in status
Hello from Uzbekistan. You most likely will receive an official letter soon, just be patient. However, in this forum someone pointed out that some people, at exceptional occasions, received "application rejected" even after "funding". Therefore I would not suggest to announce it to everyone who knows you.
But I do hope that you will receive an official confirmation soon! Good luck!
In Uzbekistan, still silence. Some people got "selection made" status, some not, some got their "funding begin" and "funding end" dates changed. But no concise information about funding at all. -

Just got my rejection letter. My status is still selection made.
There were 50 applicants applying for scholarships for graduates of all disciplines and 4 got the scholarship.
Sad to know(( my questions:
1. Did your selected "funding start" and "funding end" dates change during the period of waiting?
2. When did you have your status changed from "preselection" to "selection"?
3. Where are you from? Your profile shows ur location as Germany... -

From selection made to application rejected
Oh, I am so sorry to hear that(( Did you apply to Graduate Scholarship of All academic disciplines? (or was it a scholarship for exclusively Fine Arts students?) Did you receive an email or a status change?

Just now, Princess-pakistan said:
I think they are sending rejections. They were already send acceptance
We did not receive even invitation. I know at least 10 of the participants, none of them heard back from DAAD. For us, the game is still on ...

Any update?
Dead silence for Graduate Scholarships for All Academic Disciplines. When I contacted regional DAAD coordinator (in Uzbekistan) he claimed that the results will be announced in the end of March. It's April 3rd today. Some of friends got "selection made" from "preselection made". In my profile, nothing has changed after I took the interview. I felt quite confident during the interview, tho.
Checking the portal every hour. However, I think they will first email, rather than change status. It may not be true, tho -

Mine is still Preselection made too, and I’m really afraid it means rejection that it didn’t change to selection made. But I hope it doesn’t mean anything, so don’t lose hope. Fingers crossed for all of us!
if you see this, a person with "preselection made" got accepted. And some people are getting "application rejected" after "selection made"
So the status of the application is a complete mess and therefore you should not lose the hope! Let's keep each other updated on any case, guys! -

Hello guys, this is the second time I applied to the scholarship for artistic talents. My status changed today from "selection made" to "application rejected". I didn't got an e-mail or anything, it will probably arrive later today. Even though I didn't got the scholarship, I'm still planning on going to Germany and studying a master's degree in graphic design this year. If you are awarded the scholarship that's awesome! But if you don't, life still goes on and you can achieve your dreams on a different way, don't let that discourage you! Best of luck to everyone!
Oh, it's so painful to hear it! But I do adore your motivation to make your dreams come true, even without scholarship! Let all your intentions come into reality!
I also still did not get any updates yet. I still have a "preselection made" status while a dozen of my friends' statuses changed to "selection made". I am worried a lot too, since I cannot make it a reality without scholarship. I mean, I can, but it's too hard for a citizen of the 3rd world country.
Wish me luck, guys! -

From my experience, candidates with preselection made get the straight rejection. Especially in Uzbekistan. Unfortunately, DAAD sends first approval of funding and then rejection, which is quite strange.
Oh, this is so sad to hear. But let's hope for the best. Some of my friends were telling that anyone gets "selection made" status no matter if they receive funding or not. Especially previous DAAD scholars pointed out that "selection made" status means nothing. I will keep you updated in any case!

Hey folks! I applied to Study Scholarships for Graduates of All Disciplines 2019/2020, from Uzbekistan. Some of my friends' statuses changed from "preselection made" to "selection made". Mine is staying still. Does it have any meaning? Should I start worrying or?

Thanks, Alisher! And congratulations! Hope you will enjoy your stay in Germany! My status is still "preselection made". I know more than 8 people who have the same status still. However, some already got rejections, some on reserve list and some got funding. I am waiting for my official "rejection" now, because, I guess that they already warned grantees. But some claim that it could still change, but idk, honestly. Seems like the scholarship is not a good fit for me.
Anyways, so gald for you, brother!
