Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS): International Scholarships

Programme Description

Every year the Foundation awards scholarships to committed students and doctoral candidates who have successfully completed a higher education programme in their country of origin, are pursuing post-graduate studies (post-graduate courses/Master's programme) or a doctorate or who are doing at least a 4-semester research project at a higher education institution in Germany. Applicants from any nation are invited to apply. Scholars are given the opportunity to complete a German higher education qualification, earn a doctorate or acquire additional knowledge in their academic fields. The Foundation's goal is to help further the education and training of young academics, expecting them to shoulder responsibility for the state and society in their home countries after their return. The sponsorship amount and duration depend on the academic goals of the applicant. In addition, a number of allowances and contributions may be applied for.
