Thank you @palepal. I appreciate the detailed breakdown. It's a bummer that I missed out potentially 10,000 Euros to help make this dream come true. I think this also means that I am disqualified from future DAAD Scholarships - if I'm not mistaken, folks like myself out of school for more than 4 years will not be permitted to apply.

I am looking into BSEL HWR and Humboldt in Berlin. I keep checking UniAssist but it says application process for Winter 2019/2020 has not started yet. Is this normal?

I'm from the USA, looking at BSEL HRW Masters of Economics in Berlin. For DAAD 2019/2020 scholarships, I missed the deadline (05-Nov). I have a few questions: 1. Should I have applied even though my school is tuition-free. Would I still be considered by the governing body if my school is tuition-free? 2. Why does funding come before master's application? Because, hypothetically we can get funded by DAAD but rejected from the school - am I wrong? 3. Is DAAD scholarship based on income? I worked 4-5 years after Bacherlors degree, and saved a bit of money. Does income / savings disqualify me? 4. Since I missed DAAD Scholarship Funding deadline (05-Nov), can I still get into schools or do they only select those candidates that secured funding?
