Hi! I’ve got rejected this year too. I received the email last week. But I’m ok with it because I just started a new job and I see a lot of new opportunities there:) I’m not sure if I’ll try this again. My language certificates are from 2020 and they’ll be too old for the third application. Wish you luck with your next application, if you’ll try again! Aaand I am a real person ? I believe the user above was mistaken. It’s just a coincidence that we have simular names:)

Hi! I wrote to them this week and got the answer that they didn't receive an official selection decision yet:( However, I have a strong feeling that there will be nothing for me this year. Wish you luck and hope that the end of the waiting is near ?

Thank you very much for the information! Happy to know the end of waiting is near:) I'm a designer, applied for the same scholarship. Didn't get the email, though.

Hey guys! I still have "Preselection made" status ? Hasn't changed since February. 5th April I wrote to them and got the answer, that the final group has not been reviewed yet. So for creative Masters it is still in the process.

You're absolutely amazing! Congratulations and wooow! If DAAD could reject an outstanding person like you, then I totally get why my application was rejected last year ? It would be hard to compete with such extraordinary people. Thank you for sharing your story! It's strange, but I feel better now, knowing I am not THAT (stunningly) cool, so it will be OK to get rejected again:)

Huh, same old story again. ? Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, pdrviana! Hope the results will be released in March. Last year it was in June... kind of scared to wait that long again ? also, my status is still "preselection made", so there must be one more step before a final decision comes. Please let us know if you'll receive an answer to your message!

Hi guys, Is there any updates for creative Masters? I mean for Postgraduate Studies in Fields of Fine Arts, Film, Design/Visual Communication:)

Hey! The status "Selection made" is good, but unfortunately, it doesn't mean that you will be necessarily accepted. It is just a step. I had this status last year and after it, I was rejected ? Good luck though!

Great minds think alike ? ?

Oh, I totally understand! It is a hard task indeed. I hope it will go well with your application! ? As I believe "Preselection made" only means that they have all necessary documents to proceed, so it is only a question of time for you to get there too. I feel like it would be better to have a Plan B. So I planned a special vacation at the end of April, just in case I will need a place to moan and cry after rejection without my job disturbing it ?

Hi guys, just want to share that my status changed to "Preselection made". The process is slowly going:) Also, it's important to remember that our lives are much more than any scholarship. Winning or not winning, it does not define us as persons and professionals. I'm trying to keep it in mind every time I check the status, because last year I was completely devastated after receiving a rejection letter, and I don't want to feel the same again. Even if they reject me this year too.

I believe the deadline was 1 December. I applied 28 November. Hello, thanks! Yeah, in my rejection letter was some information. They told they had only 50 scholarships to be given, and the number of applicants was round 600. I suppose those numbers were only for Postgraduate Studies in the Fields of Fine Art, Film, Design/Visual Communication.

Hi guys! I've applied for Visual Arts/Design and (of course) already send my portfolio. Now my status is "paper copies received". I guess there will be no news before April or May:) This is my second try with DAAD and I hope this year it will go well ?

My status changed to "Application rejected" so that's the official end for this year. It was Master, Design/Film/Art Scholarship. I'll try it next year again and I hope they don't judge applicants for previous applications ? Hope your results will be better:) Wish you luck!
