These study scholarships aim to provide foreign
applicants from the field of Fine Art, Design, Film, Music and Architecture as
well as Drama, Direction, Dance and Choreography with an opportunity to
complete a course of extension studies, without gaining a formal degree of qualification,
at a German state (public) or state-recognized institution of higher education.
Duration
Study scholarships are generally awarded for one
academic year. In individual cases and upon application, scholarships may be
extended.
Value
The DAAD will pay a monthly scholarship of 750
Euros. As a rule, the scholarship additionally includes certain payments
towards health insurance cover in Germany. In addition, the DAAD generally will
pay an appropriate flat-rate travel allowance, unless these costs are covered
by the home country or by another funding source. Furthermore, the DAAD will
pay a study allowance and, where appropriate, a rent subsidy and family
allowance.
Requirements
- As
a rule, scholarships for attendance of a course of extension studies are
awarded to applicants who have exhausted the training possibilities
available to them in their home country and have – as far as possible –
concluded these studies with an appropriate degree. No more than six years
should generally have passed between the time when they gained their
degree and the time of this application.
- Applicants
who have been residents in Germany for longer than one year at the time of
application cannot be considered.
