Lol first, can you even apply a second time? I can still apply for the program but I have to finance it myself.

I received my rejection letter today from SEPT Leipzig the one for the scholarship

Hey, Haven´t received any reply yet, I think they send responses around January or February

You´re welcome and Good Luck, who knows? we might be classmates next year lol!

You´re welcome @darius_rmzni. That question about being out of school for more than 4 years was asked by someone at a meeting with the DAAD. What they explained is that they could bend the rules sometimes, but ultimately it depends on how strong of candidate you are in regards to the other applicants. Let's say there's a low amount of applicants and you excel in every requirement but that one, then theres a good chance they will consider you, but if there are many applicants and everyone complies with all the requirements and you're the only one that applied being out of school for more than 4 years then that won´t be a good scenario for you. talk to your local DAAD office they help a lot.

Hey Darius Sorry you missed the deadline, now to help you out with your questions. 1. If you want the scholarship you still need to apply eventhough the Uni is Tuition free, because the scholarship includes living expenses. 2. You have to probe you´re a good candidate this is why you apply to the scholarship first, so yes technically you can get the scholarship but can get rejected from school. Which wouldn´t make that much sense since getting a scholarship is way harder than getting into an Uni, so in their logic if you win the scholarship is almost guaranteed you will get accepted. 3. It´s not based on Income, you can be rich and if you have excellent GPA and al the requisites they ask for you´re eligible for a scholarship 4. You can still get into school (depending on the deadlines of each program), you can´t get a DAAD scholarship at least not for the next academic year. you can always apply for the scholarship next year but that would be for the 2020 - 2021. hope this info helps

Hey I also applied to the SEPT MBA. I was advised from the DAAD that in these kind of scholarships (EPOS) the process is diferent and you only have to send the documents to the Uni. Now, it depends on each University if they let you know they received your application documents or not. I called them at SEPT and they confirmed they had processed my application. Just give them a call and they will let you know.

Hey, regarding your questions 1- haven´t read anything about you being unable to apply if you´re not residing in the country you were born. However, it makes sense it could affect your application since these courses are designed for people to go back to the development countries and make a signifcant change, and if you don´t reside in that country anymore or ar not planning to go back doesn´t make much sense for them to fund you 2- A certified copy should have an ink signature and ink stamp confirming that it is a true copy of the original. The term original certified copy means you must submit the document that carries the original ink stamp and ink signature and not a photocopy or scanned printed copy of the certified copy. 3- In these kind of programs you apply directly to the Unis, regarding the accpetance and rejection it will depend on every Uni. However, what I´ve seen in this forum is that they will contact you to upload your documents to the DAAD portal and they will notify you there if you have been accepted or rejected. hope this helps
