DAAD scholarships Fall 2023

[JammyJam2020]

Hi all,

Keeping in line with previous years, I wanted to create a new thread for those of us applying for DAAD scholarships in 2022-2023.

I'm applying for the study scholarship for a masters program starting in 2023. 

Good luck to everyone applying!

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?

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.

Hey all,

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

Hey guys! Daad sent a message saying that they're late and will send the link to portfolio in January. The last day of the application was 30/11, I'm applying from Brazil

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.

[esraC]

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!

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!

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! 

[Mariolehrer]

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?

[Ayunna]

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.

Hi Esra,

 

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.
