DAAD Master Scholarships for Master Students From Sub-saharan Africa Fleeing the War in Ukraine
The DAAD has launched a special programme for Sub-Saharan African students whose studies are interrupted due to the war against Ukraine to continue/complete their studies in their home country or region.
The Scholarship programme for Master students from Sub-Saharan Africa fleeing the war against Ukraine is a subprogramme of the In-Country/In-Region Scholarship programme. It is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development and managed by the German Academic Exchange Service.
Programme Objectives
The goal of the programme is to provide Master scholarships to students who are nationals of a Sub-Saharan African country and whose Master studies are interrupted because of the war in Ukraine. Scholarship holders are given the opportunity to continue their academic career at a higher education institution in their home country or within their home region (in Sub-Saharan-Africa).
Requirements:
Applicants must be students who:
• Started their Master studies in Ukraine, hence had a student status at a recognised Ukrainian higher education institution on 24 February 2022 and fled because of the war;
• Are nationals or permanent residents of a Sub-Saharan country;
• Have successfully completed generally a three-year university degree (e.g. a Bachelor’s degree) with above average results (at least: Second Class/Lower Division or equivalent, if applicable);
• Clearly show motivation and strong commitment;
• Have thorough knowledge of the language of instruction;
• Have generally completed their last university degree not more than 6 years ago at the time of application.
Eligible Fields
The Scholarship Programme supports full-time higher education Master’s studies leading to a degree. Students may:
Continue their Master studies in the original study field started in Ukraine, or
If the original study field is not available, then in the Master programme that is the closest match for the original, or
Continue their studies in another Master’s programme of which they fulfil the admission requirements based on previous, recognised studies.
