HGILLS Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I wrote after I uploaded my declaration (having not signed it) just to see if everything was in order, and they said it was fine. So I guess we just keep waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This situation is really nerve-wracking Sounds like you're an Undergrad applicant like me. I still have selection-made status. Anxiously await the news.

My only concern now is that after I have summited my documents for the scholarship where I wrote the first 3 universities where I would like to go, I've found out others that would also meet my preferences and I would like to apply to them also. :((( In case someone might know, my question now is that would the scholarship be awarded only if I'll get admitted to one of those 3 universities I have written in the application ? Or they normally accept any german university to whom I might get admitted? Thanks The award papers I received specifically said that the scholarship would only be valid at the one university to which I applied. Based on that, it seems it's unlikely that switching the universities is generally allowed. I've already switched my program, but it's still within the same university, so that's definitely allowed.

abreak Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 @HGILLS @Andrey Have either of you heard anything back about your courses yet? It's now less than a month until mine starts and the Goethe Institut says that they haven't gotten my info from DAAD. I just called the Bonn office and they told me to send a portal message (my last portal message never got a response). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGILLS Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) I have not heard anything! No insurance information, scholarship information, nothing--and I contacted my institution as well and there was no acknowledgement that they had received anything yet. I don't really know what to do here. Do you know if they pay the course directly and then we get the leftovers?

The last time I spoke with the Goethe Institut they said that it should be this week at the latest, but my course starts in less than a month and I'm really apprehensive about booking transportation if I haven't gotten any further confirmation. 2 hours ago, HGILLS said: Do you know if they pay the course directly and then we get the leftovers?

Andrey Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Hello Everyone, I am trying to find a place in Frankfurt am Main and got stuck. I've sent a bunch of messages, but received no reply yet. Where and how do you look for apartments there? Please share your experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried wg-gesucht, but, as i'm sure you'll notice, they all typically require a besichtigung, which isn't all that easy, considering I'm still in the US. I eventually found out that the studentenwerk at Stuttgart guarantees a room for one year for DAAD scholarship holders. So I'm doing that, which buys me enough time to find private housing for the second year. This is done through Stuttgart's International Office, so I would try contacting the international office and see if they can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horb Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Hi All, I'm thinking of applying for a short-term research grant to conduct archival work in Germany. Is there anyone here who won one that would be willing to PM about the application process? I'm also applying for a Fulbright, but the DAAD process seems more intense and I'm not sure if I'd be a good fit for it like I am the Fulbright.

tritalk Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Hey all! I was wondering if there is a DAAD group for Germany on Facebook? I can't find one on the search, but if there isn't one, would anyone be interested in starting it? Would be nice to see who will be in the same area etc. Let me know!

pup Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Hey all, I was just wondering if there was already a thread for this round, or if we would just use this one again. I'm applying for long-term research, and I've found a discrepancy in information about the research proposal. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maelia8 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 @pup, I may have found the same discrepancy .. for the research grant, the daad.de scholarship database states that the research proposal should be maximum 10 pages, while the daad.org checklist states that it should be maximum 5 pages. I'm not sure which is correct. Does anybody know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pup Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) Hi all, Apologies, I posted a question and then failed to check the forum for a week! @maelia8, yes, that's exactly it. I wrote to DAAD NY and got the following response: ' Thank you for the email and sorry for the confusion. Please follow the guidelines from our “Application Checklist” (5 pages). ' I hope that helps! Now, if only we knew what sort of formatting they liked... Edited September 25, 2016 by pup content clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
